Southampton v Portsmouth: Early team and injury news ahead of south-coast derby

The countdown is on for this weekend’s south-coast derby between Pompey and Southampton.

Pompey make the shortest trip of the season across the M27 on Sunday as they lock horns with fierce rivals Southampton.

John Mousinho’s men make the journey to St Marys for the first time since April 2012, with the two sides playing out a 2-2 draw.

But with the two south-coast sides appearing in the Championship this season, a league contest is on the cards for the first time in 13 years.

Mousinho’s troops go into the derby two points clear of their bitter rivals after the opening four games, which has seen Pompey pick up seven points.

We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of this Sunday’s clash.
