Squad named for trip to St. Mary's

Midfielder Aliou Cisse and striker Clinton Morrison both come back into contention for a first team start after long-term injury problems, while England defender Matty Upson returns to the fold after missing the seasons opener against Spurs at St. Andrews last week through suspension.

French striker Christophe Dugarry sits out the game after undergoing an operation on a knee injury earlier this week, while Argentinian striker Luciano Figueroa has a slight thigh strain and is not included.

Blues have sold their full allocation of tickets for the game so the Blue Boys will be cheered on by 2,400 fans at St. Mary's.

SQUAD: Taylor, Kenna, Tebily, Purse, Cuningham, Upson, Clapham, Savage, Dunn, Cisse, Clemence, Johnson, Horsfield, John, Morrison, Lazaridis, Bennett, Devlin.
