Southampton play host to Newcastle United at their St. Marry’s Stadium in the EFL Cup semis, first leg.
The Saints did well to shock star-studded Man City in the quarter-finals, and they are now on a quest to claim yet another major scalp in the League Cup.
A man to watch in the home team will be midfielder James Ward-Prowse, who has a goal disallowed in a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa, while both Larios and Livramento remain in the recovery room.
Theo Walcott faces race against the clock to be fit for Tuesday’s encounter. Meanwhile, the Magpies failed to turn their dominance into goals in a draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Newcastle United, though, are more of a team than Southampton, and we predict that the visitors are going to prove their worth on the field.
Allan Saint-Maximin is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Jonjo Shelvey, Emil Krafth, and Matt Targett remain in the treatment room.
This match will be played on 24/01/2023 at 21:00
