SAINTS teenager Leon Best could be in line for his first senior start tomorrow in the Carling Cup tie at Northampton Town.

Best, who celebrated his 18th birthday by coming on as a sub against Newcastle at St Mary's, has enjoyed an outstanding start to the season with four goals for the reserves.

Saints head coach Steve Wigley said: "He's got talent, he's scoring goals at the moment in the reserves and he's made great strides since he came to the club."
