Southampton's struggles are well-known. They've lost eight of their nine league fixtures, drawing the other, but Stoke are in a funk of their own. The Potters are third from bottom in the Championship and winless in four, though three of those games ended all-square.
So it is that both Russell Martin and Narcis Pelach find themselves in the grips of that age-old predicament: give the fans something to cheer about in the cup, or focus fully on league survival?
It's a no-brainer from a fan's perspective, but both coaches have taken a different tack. With Stoke failing to score in four successive away games, aspiring Premier League marksman Tom Cannon has a point to prove at St Mary's tonight.
