Healy, 30, will join Roy O'Donovan up front as the pair spearhead a starting side entirely made up of professionals, including Irish midfielder David Meyler, who was on the bench for the first team against West Ham.

SAFC: Trevor Carson, Michael Kay, David Brown, Adam Reed, Dan Madden, Joe Cornforth, Robbie Weir, David Meyler, David Healy, Roy O'Donovan, Nathan Luscombe.

Subs: Conor Hourihane, Michal Misiewicz, Liam Noble, Liam O'Mahoney, Ryan Noble.
