Saints will take on Liverpool on Wednesday 18th December with an 8pm kick off, with the home supporters hoping that it will be a repeat of our last home meeting in the competition back in January 2017 and not the previous encounter in December 2015.

Liverpool will arrive at St Mary's on Wednesday 18th December hoping that they will do better than their last visit in the EFL Cup when Nathan Redmond gave us a 1-0 win that we defended at Anfield before Shane Long sealed the trip to Wembley.

Just over a year earlier Liverpool had spanked us 6-1 in a game where Sadio Mane opened he scoring after only a minute, bizarrely there could be two players from that fixture 9 years ago playing in this one next month, but they will both be playing for a different side, ex Saint Adam Lallana played for Liverpool that day whilst Virgil Van Dijk was in the Southampton defence.

Tickets for the game have already gone on sale to season ticket holders at £30 for everyone over 18 including OAP's and at £10 for all those under 18.

The season ticket holder window has opened this morning and will continue to Tuesday 12th November at 9.30 am at which stage they will go on sale to Saints members with a booking history.

The day after on the 13th season ticket holders will have the chance to but an extra ticket and then on the 14th they go on general sale to anyone with a booking history on the database with a booking history since 2021/22 season. At this stage the price will rise by £2.50.

If there are any left on the day of the game then the price will go up yet another £2.50 to £35 for over £18's and £15 for those under 18.

So the message hear is get in early, Liverpool will be sure to take their full allocation for this Cup game, so potentially somewhere around 5,000 away fans in attendance will reduce the number of home tickets available to 26,000.

After that

1ASIN12 added 17:52 - Nov 7 In the league cup the rules for away allocations are different than the FA Cup. The league cup is 10% of capacity so we will have to change the layout of the away section a bit by increasing it by 200 to give 3200 . Unless we can get some way round it like a lot of clubs have done in the past and just use the normal away section of 3000.

Bowlercow added 18:31 - Nov 7 This looks like the first move in the club removing the over 65 reduction For some £30 is more than the average game price of their season ticket

mattthelegend added 08:40 - Nov 8 £30 for a ticket, even with a season ticket, then don’t forget your booking fee!!! Club is certainly out of touch, way too expensive.Will give this a miss. Against Modern Football
