FORMER Saints defender Mike Williamson is preparing for his live Sky TV test against Chelsea's multi-million pound stars in tomorrow's Carling Cup semi-final first leg at Adams Park.

The 23-year-old centre half spent almost four years at St Mary's without making a single first team appearance following his move from Torquay in 2001.

Former England defender Tony Adams took him to Wycombe on loan at the start of the 2004/05 season and Williamson joined the Chairboys permanently at the end of that campaign.

Williamson, who was suspended for last weekend's game against Rochdale after picking up five bookings, turned in a series of fine displays alongside Roger Johnson at the heart of the Wanderers defence last season, and has again starred this term alongside Will Antwi.

He will probably partner Aston Villa loanee Steven O'Halloran against Jose Mourinho's all-stars tomorrow. O'Halloran is usually a full back but Antwi is unlikely to play due to a groin injury.

Argentinian playmaker Sergio Torres, who made a surprise appearance from the bench on Saturday after four month out with ankle injury, could figure.

The former Basingstoke Town favourite used to cycle to his workplace at Boots the chemists during his time with the Hampshire non league club.

Now he is dreaming of playing on the same pitch as Frank Lampard and co.

Torres' father is over from Argentina at the moment and the player said: "The last four months have been the worst of my life, but it would all be worth it if I was on the bench tomorrow.

"My father would cry all day if I could get on the same pitch with Chelsea's players".

Wycombe's main goal threat tomorrow will come from 17-goal Jermaine Easter, who has scored in every round of the Carling Cup so far. Among his goals was the winner when the League Two club won 1-0 at Notts County, who had dumped Saints out 2-0 at Meadow Lane in the previous round.
