The Saints will face the League One side should they overcome Derby in their third-round replay. Here is what some Southampton fans think.
Southampton have discovered their FA Cup fourth-round fate after remaining in the hat due to their 2-2 draw at Derby County on Saturday.
League One outfit Accrington Stanley lie in wait for either the Saints or the Rams, depending on who wins the third-round replay on Wednesday, January 16 at St Mary’s.
At Pride Park, Southampton led through Nathan Redmond’s deflected effort four minutes in before the winger added the second with a 25-yard strike early in the second half.

Monday night’s draw put Accrington up against the winner of the tie, and here is how some Saints fans reacted on Twitter to finding out who they could play.
