Saints have been handed a great chance to get into the last 8 of the Capital One Cup as they now meet Aston Villa at St Mary's in the next round.
Matt le Tissier did his job and drew out Saints for a home tie and although it was against a fellow Premier League club, surely Aston Villa a side we demolished last season at St Mary's and who are not in great form this, would have been one of the first choices if we were to draw a Premier club.
Elsewhere the draw has the potential to open up with other all Premier ties including
Stoke City V Chelsea
Man City V Palace
Possibly Liverpool V Bournemouth (Game Still on at time of writing)
Everton V Norwich
with the other games being
Man Utd V Middlesbrough
Hull V Leicester
Sheffield Wednesday V Arsenal
Saints now have a great chance to get in the last 8 and then to exorcise the ghost of that awful night in Sheffield, lets hope they take it.
