15th Dec 2014 | League Cup

Blades Could Make Southampton Bleed

The Saints have lost four on the bounce and now face giant-killing experts and last season's FA Cup semi-finalists.

Southampton head to Bramall Lane in terrible form and the hosts therefore merit being backed at odds as big as 13/2 (Betfair Sportsbook).

Admittedly Sheffield United aren’t on the best run themselves (D3 L1) but the pressure will all be on the Premier League outfit when they clash in this League Cup quarter-final on Tuesday night.

Nigel Clough and his boys can take huge encouragement from the fearsome cup record they have developed since the boss took over (W13 D2 L2). Top flight victims have included Villa, Fulham and West Ham in August, who are currently above the Saints in the table.

To make matters worse for Ronald Koeman, star striker Graziano Pelle is suspended while Morgan Schneiderlin is doubtful. An upset could be on the cards.
