The Buddies are on form, unbeaten in nine, and Steven Gerrard has selected a strong side to face the Saints with only four changes from the weekend win over Dundee United.

Calvin Bassey, Cedric Itten, Bongani Zungu and Joe Aribo came in for Borna Barisic, Glen Kamara, Steven Davis and the suspended Alfredo Morelos. Fillip Helander, returning from an enforced COVID-19 infection absence, was named on the bench.

@Pena_Cartel: “Sending out a strong team, love it.”
