Fulham vs Southampton Competition – FA Cup Stadium: Craven Cottage Date: 8th March 2026 Kick-off time – 12:00 GMT
Fulham host Southampton at Craven Cottage on Sunday 8th March 2026, with kick-off set for 12:00 GMT in an FA Cup fifth-round tie that pits a Premier League side against a Championship club flying under the radar. The Cottagers will be expected to progress on home turf, but Southampton arrive in remarkable form and will fancy themselves as genuine cup upsetters on a ground they have historically found difficulties at. With the reward of a quarter-final place on offer, both sides will be fully motivated.
Fulham come into this tie on the back of a disappointing result. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-0 home defeat to West Ham United on March 4th — not the preparation they would have wanted ahead of a cup tie. In their previous match, they won 2-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur on March 1st, a quality Premier League scalp. Earlier in this sequence, they won 3-1 away at Sunderland on February 22nd, a confident display on the road. Their FA Cup pedigree was established in their previous round with a 2-1 win away at Stoke City on February 15th. Their earliest result in the run was a 3-0 defeat away at Manchester City on February 11th, which the Cottagers will want to put firmly behind them. Three wins and two losses from five tells the story of a side with genuine quality but some inconsistency, and a home loss to West Ham just days before this match will have knocked confidence somewhat.
Southampton, by contrast, arrive in excellent nick. Their most recent result was a 3-1 win away at Sheffield Wednesday on February 28th — a disciplined, composed away performance from a Championship side that looks thoroughly organised. In their previous outing, they hammered Queens Park Rangers 5-0 at home on February 24th, a demolition job that underlines their attacking threat. Earlier, they drew 1-1 at home to Charlton Athletic on February 21st — the one minor blip in an otherwise superb run. They also beat Leicester City 2-1 at home in the FA Cup on February 14th to earn this tie, and won 4-3 away at Leicester City on February 10th in the Championship. Four wins and a draw from their last five is outstanding form from the Saints, and they make the trip to west London full of confidence and momentum.
The head-to-head record in recent seasons has favoured Fulham, who have won three of the last five meetings between the clubs, with one draw and one Southampton victory. Most recently, Fulham won 2-1 away at Southampton in April 2025, while Southampton’s sole win in that sequence was a 3-1 home victory in May 2021. Fulham will draw confidence from their recent dominance of this fixture — but Southampton’s current form is a significant leveller.
