With Nathan Jones taking the reins at Southampton, hopes will be high that he can bounce back in a positive manner with a convincing win in the League Cup against Lincoln City of League One after losing his opening game against Liverpool.

Three of Southampton’s last four League Cup games needed penalties to decide the winner, including in the last round against another League One side, Sheffield Wednesday, although the new manager won’t rest on his laurels and could name a strong side to get to the quarter final in style.

On the other hand, the Imps often play out exciting League Cup encounters, each of their last eight games in this competition produced at least three goals whilst both teams also scored in six games therein.

However, both games against Premier League opponents during that sequence were lost by a combined 11-4 scoreline, so sticking with the favourites to come out on top of an entertaining clash could be the way to go here.
