Millwall v Southampton Kick-off: 7.45, live on Sky Sports 1Southampton - buoyed by the fact that James Beattie has signed a contract which will keep him at the club until 2006 - take on Millwall at the New Den having narrowly avoided being knocked out of the competition by the First Division side 10 days ago.

Kevin Davies, who scored a last-minute equaliser for Southampton, knows what to expect from Mark McGhee's side having spent two months on loan with them earlier in the season. But he believes that Southampton can go through to a home game against Norwich in the next round if they prevent Millwall from scoring in the opening exchanges.

Davies said: "I know from my time there that the crowd will be with them for the first 20 minutes, but if we can weather the storm and turn them then I'm sure we can go on and win.

"It's up to us to disappoint those people looking for an upset with the game on live television. I think the match will be very similar to the first one and will be settled by one goal."

Beattie, scorer of 16 top-flight goals this season, put pen to paper on his new deal yesterday after discussions with chairman Rupert Lowe.

Republic of Ireland winger Steven Reid returns from suspension for Millwall, who will feature another Irishman, Robbie Ryan, in defence. But they will be without captain Stuart Nethercott following a groin injury. Striker Neil Harris (ankle) is two weeks away from a comeback.
