And play him on Saturday instead of...?
I wouldn't drop Puncheon atm and a midfield of Lallana, Puncheon, Cork and Schneiderlin is working well. Chaplow should start against Millwall to build him up to fight for a place again.
The Saints academy right winger scored earlier today scored against France in the Algave tournament...

Saints sure know how to make a winger in recent years...
Gareth Bale
Theo Walcott
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Nathan Dyer
Southampton left back Luke Shaw was also in the England squad with Chambers, but got injured in the first training session and returned to England.

With 17 games left and the league very tight it will be touch and go for the rest of the season. One poor result could be the difference between automatic promotion and playoff or playoffs and not in playoffs. To not have a sub keeper is a huge risk and not one worth taking as it could result in a match which costs Saints the whole season. Five subs with one being a keeper is enough to give options from the bench.
It would cost them more not to use it as they'd lose out on the Sky money plus lost matchday revenue and costs they'd have to repeat.
In any case it is hardly a huge expense, they have had the undersoil heating on at their training ground during the week (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16864714) so of course they will at the stadium.
The pitch won't be a problem, Birmingham have undersoil heating.

Safety of surrounding areas is the only thing that will postpone the game and I think that is unlikely.
