SAINTS B will no longer host Everton this weekend.

Dave Horseman’s side were set to welcome the Toffees to Snows Stadium on Saturday lunchtime in the Premier League Cup.

However, a new date will now have to be found for the fixture.

A statement from Saints read: “Southampton B team's Premier League Cup Group F game at Snows Stadium has been postponed this weekend.

"The match, which was due to be played on Saturday 10th December, will be rescheduled after advice from the Premier League that the visitors do not have enough players to fulfil the fixture.

"A re-arranged date will be confirmed with an update on ticketing information in due course.”

Saints currently sit top of Group F with four wins from four.

Everton are due to face Colchester this evening.

Saints B are next due in action in the competition away at Birmingham City on Friday, December 16.
