An intriguing South Coast derby awaits in the Championship as Southampton prepare to welcome Portsmouth to St. Mary's Stadium at Sunday lunchtime. The Saints have struggled since being relegated from the Premier League, picking up a total of just five points from their opening four games as they sit in 13th place.
Meanwhile, Pompey are currently placed above their bitter rivals in eighth at the time of writing, with seven points collected from their first four matches. Nonetheless, it will no doubt be interesting to see how the pair match up in what will be the first derby in nearly six years.
