Since beating Manchester United in the 1976 final, Southampton have been eliminated in seven of their eight FA Cup ties against top-flight opponents while playing outside of the top division at the time. The one exception was a 2-0 win against Blackpool in the third round in 2010-11.

Saints were 21st in the Championship when manager Tonda Eckert took over early in November following the sacking of Will Still, but a run of six wins in their past eight has seen them climb to one place outside the play-off places.
Can they cause a bit of an upset today?
Fulham v Southampton (12:00 GMT)
Marco Silva has made a staggering nine changes to his team following a disappointing 1-0 defeat against West Ham United in the Premier League earlier this week.
It is a massive shake-up, with the Cottagers bidding to reach consecutive FA Cup quarter-finals this afternoon.
Captain Tom Cairney and winger Samuel Chukwueze are the only players to keep their spots in the starting line-up.
Harry Wilson does not feature in the squad after picking up a knock against Tottenham.
Fulham XI: Lecomte, Castagne, Andersen, Cuenca, Sessegnon, Reed, Cairney, Smith Rowe, Bobb, Muniz, Chukwueze
Subs: Leno, Tete, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Lukic, King, Iwobi, Raul
Southampton boss Tonda Eckert chooses to make four changes to his side, who are currently nine games unbeaten in all competitions.
The Saints' strong run of form has seen them make a late push for the Championship play-off spots - and they will be hoping to continue that run at Craven Cottage.
Jack Stephens and Shea Charles miss out on the matchday squad altogether, while Cam Bragg and Kuryu Matsuki drop to the bench.
Southampton XI: Peretz, Bree, Wood, Harwood-Bellis, Manning, Downes, Jander, Fellows, Azaz, Scienza, Larin
Subs: Long, Quarshie, Jelert, Romeu, Bragg, Matsuki, Edozie, Archer, Stewart
Fulham v Southampton (12:00 GMT)
Fulham reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup a couple of years ago where they were knocked out by Crystal Palace.
They've actually reached the last eight on a few occasions in the last 20 years but past that is where they have struggled, last reaching the semis in 2002.

Image source, Getty ImagesFulham will need to "prove our quality" against Southampton in the FA Cup, says boss Marco Silva.
The Cottagers host the in-form south coast side in the fifth round of the cup on Sunday lunchtime and know they will need to be at their best level to ensure their progression to the quarter finals.
"They have been reacting very, very well, definitely," said Silva.
"You see their recent form - not so recent, because it's been already, I think, nine games unbeaten - most of them getting the three points.
"And, of course, where they came from, in a bad position in the table, right now to be around the play-off positions shows they are in a good moment.
"They are in a moment when they can win football matches in a row. That is important and, for sure, gives them the confidence they are going in the right direction."
Fulham v Southampton (12:00 GMT)
Southampton have won six of their past seven games in the Championship but I fancy Fulham here.
They are at home and are going to be fine in the Premier League this season, so I don't see Marco Silva making too many changes.
It would be great to see Fulham having a real run in the FA Cup. They've never won it, reaching the final in 1975 is their best attempt yet, but I wouldn't rule out their chances of making it to Wembley this year.
Sutton's prediction: 3-0

Leeds have lost two of their last 15 meetings with Norwich in all competitions (W9 D4), on both occasions losing to current manager Daniel Farke when he was Canaries boss in April 2018 and February 2019.
This is the fourth FA Cup tie between Leeds and Norwich – the Canaries went through in a fourth round replay in 1934-35, while the Whites won 5-0 in a third round second replay in 1972-73 and then 5-2 in the third round in 1976-77.
Leeds are looking to reach an FA Cup quarter-final for the first time since 2002-03 under Terry Venables – they’ve been knocked out in the fifth round on four occasions since then. This is their first home game at this stage since 1998-99, drawing 1-1 with Spurs before losing a replay 0-2.
Norwich have been eliminated in each of their last 14 FA Cup ties against top-flight teams while playing outside the top division themselves, last progressing from one of these ties in the third round in 1981-82 when they beat Stoke City 1-0.
Leeds have progressed from each of their last six FA Cup ties against sides from a lower division, since losing 3-0 to Crawley in January 2021. As a Premier League side, the Whites have won eight of their last nine at Elland Road against lower league sides, losing 1-0 to Wolves in March 1998 in the other.
Norwich City’s Anis Ben Slimane has the most assists of any player in this season’s FA Cup from the first round onwards (4), assisting two goals against each of Walsall and West Brom in the third and fourth rounds respectively.
