Good to have an oppurtunity to bounce back so soon. I would like to see a strong side to get the win but with a few of the youngsters thrown in. Juanmi and reed to start and saints to win 3-1 like the good old days.
 
Dons are not as good as last year having lost Afobe and Alli so should win with a second string side
 
Wouldn't mind seeing this team start.

Stekkers
Cedric, Caulker, VVD, Targett
Romeu ,Reed
Jay Rod, Juanmi ,Long
Pelle

Subs Gazza,Davis,Tadic,Seager,Fonte,Martina.
 
If Juanmi doesn't start this one, then what is he here for???

I would like to see the first choice defence out so they can gel. Also, Reed has to start. Pelle can have a rest.
