Squad sheets: Southampton v Manchester United

For those of us of a certain age, there are nostalgic echoes of 1976, when Lawrie McMenemy's Southampton, from the old Second Division, upset the odds at Wembley against Tommy Docherty's United. Candidates for Bobby Stokes's matchwinning role this time? What price another midfielder, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, the 17-year-old they are calling the new Theo Walcott? Look out, too, for Guilherme do Prado, a 19-year-old Brazilian striker signed from Fiorentina last summer, who scored against Blackpool in the last round. United are without Edwin van der Sar, rested after announcing his forthcoming retirement, and three of their regular back four: Rafael da Silva, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra.
