Eastleigh boss Scott Bartlett says his side has a great chance of beating Walsall in the FA Cup on Sunday. The Spitfires will take on the League Two leaders this weekend in the first round of England's oldest cup competition.

What's at Stake?

Eastleigh have enjoyed success in the FA Cup in recent times, beating Reading at home in 2023 to send them through to the third round.

Bartlett took over as manager of the National League side from former Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davis in late September. He previously managed Weston-super-Mare and coached across the age levels at Forest Green Rovers.

The Manager's View

"I think we've got a chance of doing something," Bartlett told BBC Sport. "I don't really want to say it'd be a massive upset because we also have players that played a higher level."
