Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is backing his countryman Sam Morsy to reach the semi-final of the English FA Cup with Wigan Athletic at the expense of Southampton.
Paul Cook's men are welcoming the Saints at the DW Stadium on Sunday, having defeated Premier League trio - Bournemouth, West Ham and Manchester City to seal a last-eight spot.
The 26-year-old has played a vital role in Wigan's fairytale run in the FA Cup, featuring five times, scoring a goal despite missing the clash with Pep Guardiola's men due to a suspension.
