The south coast derby is undeniably the tie of the round - but it was one Redknapp admits he could have done without, less than a month after he joined Southampton following his exit from Portsmouth.

But he insisted he would rise above the inevitable taunts from his former club.

"I would have probably preferred to avoid that one," he said. "Maybe I will get some stick because there will always be some people prepared to make a noise, but I know I did a great job at Portsmouth and I can hold my head up high.

"I signed all the players who are there at the moment. I took the club from next-to-bottom in the First Division and into the Premiership and maybe if I had not gone there that would not have happened.

"This will be great for the fans and promises to be a terrific Cup tie. I obviously know how strong Portsmouth can be and it will be a tough game."

Yeovil could add Charlton to their long list of giant-killings, after they were drawn against Alan Curbishley's side at the Valley.

The League Two side ousted 20 league opponents while they were non-league, and will be relishing the trip to Charlton - who have gone out to Blackpool, Luton, Walsall and Gillingham in recent years.

Manager Gary Johnson said: "People have told me that Charlton have lost to lower league opposition on a couple of occasions.

"So we will go there with nothing to lose and are major underdogs. It will be a major giant-killing act if we win which is nice because of our tradition. I am sure Alan Curbishley will keep that in mind.

"This is a great tie for us - to be drawn against a Premiership side. Our supporters will travel up to London in their numbers, so we will have a fantastic following.

"We cannot take anything for granted and will be looking forward to pitting our wits against a very good team."

But Yeovil midfielder Paul Terry - brother of England and Chelsea defender John - admitted he would have preferred another London club ... but not his sibling's!

He said: "I'm delighted to get a Premiership team in the fourth round - it's just what we wanted.

"We are always confident we can get a result, but the team I was looking out for was West Ham, because that's the team I support.

"Chelsea would have been nice too. But we'll go to Charlton full of confidence. Hopefully we can take a lot more fans there than we took to Rotherham."

Exeter have the prospect of yet more Premiership opposition if they beat Manchester United at St James Park in their Third Round replay.

They held Alex Ferguson's side to a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford, and will face Middlesbrough in the fourth round if they triumph in the replay.

But Exeter manager Alex Inglethorpe has told his players not to start getting carried away, and is focusing on causing the biggest upset in FA Cup history before setting his sights on Steve McClaren’s side.

Inglethorpe said: "At the moment the draw is of little consequence. It would be different if we were already in the fourth round - but we still have to beat United.

"We don’t need to set our sights any higher than beating them in the replay next week. If we manage that then we can start looking at our next task."
