All eyes on Colchester as Southampton travel to face Colchester.
A EFL Cup fixture between Colchester and Southampton. Here's what the numbers and form tell us ahead of kick-off.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Colchester will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Southampton travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Colchester average 1.6 goals per game and Southampton manage 2.2. Combined that's just 3.8. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
Southampton have goals in them (2.2 per game) but their record at the back (1.1 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
