The Referee: John Brooks will oversee the game, assisted by Gary Beswick and Wade Smith. Anthony Taylor is scheduled to be the fourth official. Brooks has taken charge of three matches so far this season, issuing no cautions during Stevenage’s draw with Swindon but three when Blackburn Rovers beat Hull City last week.

The History Lesson: United have won 25 of their 58 competitive fixtures against Southampton, who will make the journey north hoping for their 21st victory over Slavisa Jokanovic’s employers. However United have lost all of their last four clashes with Southampton. Those were all staged in the Premier League.

The Last Time Out: Although United have failed to beat Southampton since, they did knock their rivals from Hampshire out of the competition when they locked horns in the quarter-finals seven years ago. Then managed by Nigel Clough, Marc McNulty’s strike proved enough to seal United’s progress. Southampton had Florin Gardos sent-off during the closing stages.

and as expected, Slav has rung the changes...

Foderingham, Bogle, Basham, Robinson, Stevens, Norwood, Freeman, Guedioura, Burke, Ndiaye, McBurnie.
