|While Saints are still winless in the Premier League after the first five matches, they had the biggest away win in the history of the club by comprehensively beating League Two Newport County 8-0 to reach this stage of the League Cup.
On Saints trip to a Sheffield United side relegated from the top flight last season, Ralph Hasenhuttl chose to make nine changes from Saturday's goalless draw against Manchester City. Only Redmond and Romeu retained their places from that game. Yes, even James Ward-Prowse was on the bench.
