Premier League Cup fixtures announced
Southampton FC's B team will face Arsenal, West Brom and AFC Bournemouth in Group A of the 2021/22 Premier League Cup.
Their cup campaign starts next week with a visit to face Arsenal at Boreham Wood's Meadow Park during the first week of September.
The first home game of the group comes three weeks later as West Brom visit Snows Stadium as September's fixtures draw to a close.
There's a south coast derby on the cards next up, with AFC Bournemouth visiting AFC Totton's Snows Stadium at the end of November.
Rounding off the three successive home games is the return match against Arsenal, as Staplewood Campus hosts during December.
