Fulham vs Southampton: FA Cup clash history looms
8 Mar
Summary
- Fulham seeks third FA Cup quarter-final in four seasons.
- Southampton has lost three of their last four matches to Fulham.
- Kevin is involved in three of Fulham's five FA Cup goals.
This FA Cup match marks the fourth encounter between Fulham and Southampton. Fulham previously eliminated the Saints in the third round in 1998-99 after a replay.
Southampton's recent record against Fulham is poor, with three losses in their last four Premier League fixtures. Their last victory over Fulham was in May 2021.
Fulham is striving to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for the third time in four seasons, a feat they achieved in 2022-23 and 2024-25. Their prior quarter-final appearances were spread over two decades.
Southampton has a challenging history in the FA Cup against top-flight opponents when not in the top division. Since their 1976 final win, they've been eliminated in seven of eight such ties, with a 2010-11 win over Blackpool being the exception.
Individually, Fulham's Kevin has been instrumental, involved in three of their five FA Cup goals this season and leading in shots and opposition box touches in earlier rounds. Southampton's Oriol Romeu is poised for his 20th FA Cup appearance, having featured in their last tie against Fulham in 2018.
