Southampton welcomes Sheffield Wednesday to the St. Mary's Stadium for this third round match in the League Cup. The hosts are coming of a humbling 4-1 home defeat in the Premier League to Newcastle while the visitors had a 2-0 home win over Morecambe in the FA Cup in their last match. Southampton have now lost their last two matches while only winning one of their last nine which has led to the sacking of their manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. The latest defeat has seen them fall into the relegation zone and they will be desperately looking for a change of fortune in this competition. Southampton will be hoping that they can replicate the form they showed in the previous round when they easily dispatched Cambridge 3-0. They have also struggled while playing at home, winning just one of their last eight matches with four losses and three draws.

Sheffield Wednesday have come into some good recent form as they are now unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions. They are safely through to the next round of the FA Cup and sit comfortably in third spot on the League One table. Sheffield Wednesday have only suffered on defeat in their last ten matches across all competitions with seven wins and two draws. They had an excellent 3-0 win over Rochdale in the previous round and will be looking to repeat that form against a struggling Southampton team. Sheffield Wednesday have proven difficult to beat on their travels, losing just once in their last five matches.
