Last updated : 03 December 2003 By Mark Heys
Bolton Wanderers will face a home tie against Southampton in the Quarter Finals of the Carling Cup on the week commencing the 15th December 2003 at the Reebok Stadium.

Wanderers knocked out the holders Liverpool 3-2 in a thrilling game at Anfield whilst the Saints defeated arch rivals Portsmouth 2-0 in the live televised clash at St Mary's Stadium last night.

It is the third time in the clubs history which they have progressed in the competition, in 1977 they reached the Semi Finals before being dumped out by Everton in the replay whilst in 1995 they went all the way to the final before losing out to Liverpool. Three years ago they where beaten in the Semi Final by the eventual losing finalists Tranmere Rovers.
