Ipswich Town held the Saints 2-2 at the St Mary’s Stadium in last night’s first match but Wigley felt his side would still lift the trophy.

He said: "Ipswich came and passed the ball, were not negative and showed they have got good quality.

"They have got some good players but we knew that. You do not get to the final of this competition if you don’t.

"It is another hurdle for us but we go to Portman Road on Friday and have the belief that we can win it.

"There are no second chances now. We want to win this cup."

Ipswich’s Cathal Lordan scored twice after Southampton went ahead through a David McGoldrick penalty before Leon Best earned the Saints a draw.

Lordan, a Republic of Ireland U18 international, believed Ipswich could have won the first leg.

He said: "I’m a bit disappointed we did not get the win but to come to a fantastic stadium and get a result like we did is fantastic.

"I expect Southampton to come at us with everything they have got. It will be a fantastic game. They are very quick and strong but we have to deal with that and play our own game.

"Both sides are in with a brilliant chance, but we are very confident."

Nearly 10,000 people were at St Mary’s on Monday and Lordan hoped a big crowd would be present at Portman Road for Friday‘s second leg, which starts at 7.45pm.

"Our fans have been brilliant and hopefully they will be there to support us," said Lordan. "It is such a big game and anything could happen."
