Saints vs Blackburn Rovers
Premier League Cup quarter-final

Saints have reached the last eight of the Premier League Cup thanks to a 1-0 victory over Sheffield United in the round of 16.
Dom Ballard's penalty was enough to secure progression against the young Blades in February.
It's the first time since the 2014/15 season that Saints have reached the competition's quarter-finals; incidentally, the last time they did so was en route to winning the tournament, beating Blackburn in the final over two legs.
