# Southampton: Fans buzz over Carabao Cup draw

**Many Southampton fans have been left buzzing as it was confirmed who will they will play in the Carabao Cup second round.**

Given that they are three divisions above them in the Premier League, this means that the St. Mary’s faithful should have a good chance of going through into the next round of the competition.

Perhaps more importantly in this instance, it gives Saints supporters a chance to go on a new away trip after a year of football without fans, and so it is not a surprise to see so many of them buzzing when they heard who they were going to face.
