Southampton simply must win the EFL Cup this season – here’s why

Well overdue

The south coast side, whose last piece of silverware is the 2010 Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, are well and truly overdue a cup run.

They came close in 2003 when Arsenal beat Gordon Strachan’s Southampton side 1-0 in the FA Cup final in Cardiff, however that was the last real run in a major cup for the St. Mary’s faithful. It’s about time another came along.
