Plymouth boss Paul Sturrock is predicting an FA Cup backlash from south coast rivals Southampton on Tuesday.Sturrock spent a short spell as manager of the Saints in 2004 and has already seen his side draw 1-1 with Southampton at Home Park a month ago and, despite Southampton's 1-0 FA Cup knockout at League One Bristol Rovers, Sturrock remains wary of the opposition's reaction.

He said: "I watched the FA Cup tie on television and know that Southampton can play a lot better than that. They have got some very good players in their squad and it's a big squad.

"They have got players that can hurt you in (Bradley) Wright-Phillips, Stern John and (Inigo) Idiakez can conjure something out of nothing.

"We will not be taking them lightly - and they know that they are in the wrong half of the table for them, and will want to do something about it.

"They did not play that well on Saturday but they have already proved earlier this season how well they can play on their day - and that's the side we have got to prepare to face."
