HARRY REDKNAPP will ring the changes against Brentford in the FA Cup tonight, recalling Kevin Phillips and picking an entirely new midfield.

With David Prutton suspended, Nigel Quashie cup-tied, Graeme Le Saux suffering with 'flu and Jamie Redknapp rested, the Saints boss will be giving chances to players who have been left on the sidelines in recent weeks.

Matt Oakley, Anders Svensson, Neil McCann and Paul Telfer all look likely to feature, while the likes of Mikael Nilsson, Yoann Folly and Leandre Griffit will also be hoping to push for places.

Up front, it appears Redknapp may rest Peter Crouch and try Phillips alongside Senegalese star Henri Camara.

He said: "I'm going to have to change it, we will probably have a completely different midfield to the one on Saturday. I might make a change up front as well and get Kevin Phillips back in the team somewhere and give some of the others a rest.

"It's tough picking the two strikers at the moment but it's a nice situation to be in.

"Camara has obviously come in and done well and Crouch has been terrific.

"I won't want to risk Jamie, the Tottenham game on Saturday is all important and I need him.

"Antti (Niemi) is not fit at the moment, hopefully he might be back for Tottenham, but Paul Smith has done very well."

A home quarter-final against FA Cup holders Manchester United awaits for the winners but Redknapp admits tonight's fifth round replay is a match the team could have done without.

Saints let slip a two-goal lead at St Mary's to be taken back to Griffin Park.

"It's massive nuisance and we could have done without it," admitted Redknapp. "But we're here and we've got to get through now.

"We went to West Brom and played well and if we can play like that we will be okay.

"Brentford have done well and we've got to be ready for the game.

"You can always expect plenty of effort from them, they are dangerous on set-pieces as well.

"There is no comparison between the league and the FA Cup.

"I've been to see non-league teams and thought 'oh my god, they are the worst team I've ever seen' and they are different people in the Cup.

"I've been there myself with Bournemouth, so I know what can happen. The players have got to know they will come out and have to be prepared to battle.

"We will have to stand up and take the physical side of it that they will throw-in as well.

"If we play Manchester United it will be something to look forward to, but staying in the Premier League is the key."
