Strachan's Saints to play the United way

SOUTHAMPTON manager Gordon Strachan has hatched a special game plan in order to prevent favourites Arsenal running away with the FA Cup today.

Strachan says his team will try to follow the example of premier league champions Manchester United, who compromised their usual attacking style in the 2-2 draw at Highbury in April that went a long way to securing the title.

"You cannot win it playing the same way as Arsenal," Strachan said.
