Adam Asghar's side haven't played a competitive fixture since the start of the month, so will be hoping to mark their long-awaited return to action with a return to winning ways as well.
However, a handful of players did join a mixed squad with the Under-18s to reach the quarter-finals of Hampshire FA's Servio Men's Senior Cup two weeks ago in a 2-1 win over AFC Stoneham.
In their opening game of this seasons PL International Cup, Saints were narrowly beaten by Lyon in a dramatic game that ended 4-3 in favour of the visitors.

Valencia will be bringing their reserve team, known as Valencia Mestalla, to Totton, with the Spanish youngsters also chasing their first win in Group B.
Domestically, they ply their trade in the Segunda Federación - Group 3 in the fourth tier of Spanish football and are sitting in mid table after their opening 13 games.
In the PL International Cup, Miguel Ángel Angulo's side have suffered two defeats from two games as they were beaten 1-0 by West Ham and 3-2 by Brighton.
