The south coast derby is back on Sunday as Southampton host Portsmouth at St Mary’s in the first league meeting between the two clubs in more than 13 years.
Southampton have made a patchy return to the second tier under Will Still, taking just five points from their opening four games and looking vulnerable at home, where they’ve already lost twice in their last three league fixtures.
Portsmouth, meanwhile, have started the season with real purpose. John Mousinho’s side have lost just once in their opening four matches and sit ahead of their rivals in the table. Pompey’s away record has improved too, taking as many points on the road in their last four games as they managed in their previous 19.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
