HARRY REDKNAPP, the St Mary's tinker man, could be ready to ring the changes again on Sunday.
In the 11 Saints matches, Redknapp has taken charge of, only once has he named an unchanged starting XI - for the 2-1 loss at Newcastle last month.
Against Birmingham on Wednesday, he stunned the Saints fans by making four changes to the side that beat Pompey in the FA Cup.
That was the third time Redknapp had made that many alterations to his starting XI. But even those were overshadowed by the FIVE changes he made against Fulham last month and SIX he made for the Boxing Day clash with Charlton at St Mary's.
Following on from the introductions of Olivier Bernard and Henri Camara at St Andrews, 25 different players have started for Saints under Redknapp in his 11 games. Paul Smith has also played as a sub.
That figure is set to rise again on Sunday when Everton visit as Nigel Quashie is likely to make his debut if fit, possibly at Rory Delap's expense.
Don't be surprised to see two more changes either:
1) Graeme Le Saux came through Wednesday's res-erve game at West Ham with no reaction to his injury and could start his first game since the 2-2 draw against Middlesbrough in Decem-ber - Redknapp's first match in charge.
Le Saux was deployed against Boro on the left-hand side of midfield and that could be his role on Sunday with Olivier Bernard at left-back - the position he played most of his matches for Newcastle this season in.
2) Henri Camara had an immediate impact when he came on as a half-time sub at Birmingham and should start up front alongside Peter Crouch as Redknapp reverts to a more normal 4-4-2 system.
Jelle Van Damme and Kenwyne Jones could be the ones to make way.
The boss has also not been scared to try different formations - 4-4-2, 4-3-3 (for half the Charlton match) and 4-5-1 have all been deployed.
