Southampton have been drawn to face Norwich at home in the next round of the FA Cup, if they are able to beat Tottenham.
The Saints travel to face Tottenham in their FA Cup replay next Wednesday to determine who will host the Canaries in March.
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side held Spurs to a 1-1 draw at St. Mary’s last weekend. Heung-Min Son handed Tottenham the lead, only for Sofiane Boufal to pop up off the bench with a late equaliser to set up the fourth round replay.
They came agonisingly close to drawing Portsmouth once again in the cup. Norwich, Portsmouth and Arsenal/Bournemouth were the only three balls left when Southampton were drawn.

If Southampton are able to get past Spurs and then Norwich, they would be in the quarter-finals of the competition and in with a shot of going all the way.
