National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Charlton Athletic or Southampton U21 that keep their silverware dream alive.
Charlton have less rest than Southampton U21 in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a League One game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Fleetwood Town.
