Luton set for £125,000 windfall if they beat Grimsby as FA Cup trip to Southampton will be live on ITV4

Luton Town will earn a windfall of £125,000 should they go through in the FA Cup fourth round, as their potential fifth round clash against Premier League Southampton will be live on ITV4.

The FA have confirmed that the winner of Tuesday night's replay between the Hatters and Grimsby at Blundell Park, following a 2-2 draw on Saturday, will head to St Mary’s to take on a Saints side managed by former Hatters boss Nathan Jones, on Wednesday, March 1, at 7.15pm.

A statement on the FA website said: “Each club involved in these televised fifth round ties will receive £125,000 in addition to any payment from the competition’s prize fund.”

Should Luton reach the fifth round, then they would have pocketed £350,000 in total from this year's competition after earning £105,000 for beating Wigan, with £120,000 up for grabs for the winners of their replay clash.

A victory over Southampton, who have defeated Crystal Palace and Blackpool so far, would see their coffers swelled by a further £225,000.
