Michael Svensson will today attempt to play 90 minutes for Saints reserves.

The Swedish centre half has found his latest comeback from horrendous knee problems slow going. The last time he played for the reserves he only lasted until half time when his hamstring tightened up.

But he is in the team to face QPR this afternoon and is down to play the full 90 minutes if he can.

Also due to play is Mario Licka who made his first competitive appearance in a Saints shirt as a late sub against Millwall last week.
