Saints ring the changes for Cobblers game

Bartosz Bialkowski will make a rare start in goal but defender Neal Trotman has been ruled out of the FA Cup clash at Northampton.

Bialkowski will take his place in goal for the FA Cup second-round tie against the Cobblers with first-choice Kelvin Davis set to be sidelined until the end of the month with a groin injury.

On-loan star Trotman does not have permission to play from his club Preston so Wayne Thomas or Chris Perry will take his place in defence while on-loan Chelsea youngster Jacob Mellis is also ineligible.

Midfielder Joseph Mills could return from illness but striker Marek Saganowski has been ruled out by a knee injury.
