Ralph Hasenhuttl, the manager of the home team, was fired after the team’s poor start to the season. However, they have performed admirably in the cup competition, defeating Cambridge United 3-0 in the first round and defeating Sheffield United on penalties in the second round after the match finished 1-1 in normal time.
Last season, Southampton lost to Chelsea on penalties and were eliminated at this stage of the cup competition. They will hope for better luck this time around. After defeating Barrow on penalties in the second round of the Carabao Cup, Lincoln City defeated Doncaster Rovers 3-0 on the road to begin their campaign.
In the subsequent round, they faced Bristol City. They won 3-1 on the road and led by three goals before their opponents scored a late consolation goal. The visitors are currently enjoying their best domestic cup run ever and will be looking to put their skills to the test against top-flight opponents on Wednesday.
