Take the Saints to outfox Leicester
THEY talk about the magic of the FA Cup.
But the great old knockout competition has its horrible flipside. Wembley can tell of plenty of hard luck Cup stories – ones involving Alan Shearer, Brian Clough and even Elton John to name a few.
So we come to Leicester. Are they really cursed in the Cup?
The Foxes have never won the great trophy and the last two occasions they reached this stage, they lost both semis.. to
Spurs in 1982 and Liverpool in 1974.
They come into this match with all the pressure on them, desperate to break a poor run of league form and unrest in the camp after three players broke Covid protocols.
In contrast, carefree Saints seem to relish the Cup this season.We have a sneaking fancy for them at 31/10 with BetVictor.. and deadball expert James Ward-Prowse to score first at10/1 (Bet365).
