Strachan relief at missing big guns

Gordon Strachan got his wish by avoiding Arsenal and Chelsea in the FA Cup but insisted his Southampton would not be taking First Division Watford lightly in their semi-final clash.

Saints boss Strachan was relieved to avoid facing one of the Premiership’s top guns, but is well aware that Ray Lewington’s Watford have already beaten two sides from the top flight on their road to the semis.
