Caig was due to make his first team debut this Sat against Everton, with Given struggling with injury, but Shay is now fit and is set to start.

Carver said today: "We would have absolutely no fears about putting Tony Caig in at Everton if necessary.

"That's why he is here to step in if Shay or Steve are not available. He's a good lad who has worked hard since he came here on trial earlier this year.

"He's also a strong character and we would have no worries about playing him."
