    Saints fan Martin says Man City fans are outnumbered at Wembley.

    "There's so many more Saints fans than Man City fans," he says.

    "Hardly seen any City fans, it's just yellow and blue everywhere.

    "If the players can feed off it, start nice and quick, I think we have a great chance."

    Our sports editor Lewis Coombes says Man City did not sell out their allocation of tickets, giving Southampton an advantage in the stands.
