00:00It's the big one here down the road as Pompey travel to Southampton for the South Coast Derby.
00:08217. As the Pompey fans make their feelings known as the visitors go onto the pitch.
00:15There, let's turn around and show you that.
00:18There you go, you can hear that noise from your way in.
00:30Say no more. There's a little insight to what we can expect today.
00:38Yes, I'll leave the Pompey fans to that statement.
00:42It's one change for Pompey, it's big news as well.
00:46Conor Chaplin starts on his second Pompey debut, his homecoming.
00:50Conor Chaplin the man to come in.
00:52Ben Keeney dropping to the bench here down the road.
00:56Let's run you through that. Obviously the other big news, Marlon Pack in after his surgery.
01:00He's on the bench. Mackenzie Kirk, the new boy, comes on.
01:03See, there the trio to come in. Kostovsky, Matthews and Waddenham, the players to make way.
01:08Let's run you through that Pompey line up then.
01:10Smith in goal, Swanson in the right back.
01:11Shot Nessie, Paul and Ogilvie.
01:13De'Zell and Swift anchoring midfield with Sekicic on the right flank.
01:16Conor Chaplin, that man in the middle in the 10-roll.
01:19Murphy on the left behind, Colby Bishop up front.
01:22On the bench of the Blues, Killip remains.
01:24Despite Bursick coming in, Williams, Devlin, Knight, Pack, LaRue, Bianchini and Mackenzie Kirk.
01:30Who I believe only joined the Pompey set up relatively recently.
01:34I think it may be as soon as yesterday.
01:36As recently as yesterday.
01:37So, interesting.
01:39The one that's the one to make way there.
01:41And as I say, it's a big one.
01:445,229 days it's been since Pompey above their deadly rivals in the league hierarchy.
01:52But the Brookings quite rightly have Southampton firm favourites for this one.
01:56Pompey about 19-5.
01:58Just short of 4-1.
02:00And Southampton 3-4 on.
02:02But it's a derby.
02:03And we know it's going to be a great leveler.
02:05We know John Messina is going to have his men ready and charged for this one.
02:08Can it shorten the gap as has often been the way with John Messina against powerful opposition
02:13in the championship in his tenure as Pompey.
02:16We've seen it against the likes of Leeds.
02:18It was a cracking moment earlier as the players made their way in with Pompey fans in on that bubble bus.
02:23Some Pompey fans, many Pompey fans in already.
02:25Connor Chaplin really fated as a hero as he made his way in with John Messina's squad and the staff.
02:31I've got some video of it.
02:33If you want to look on my Twitter feed you can see that as Pompey arrived earlier.
02:37I'm making plenty of noise anyway already.
02:40It's ramping up.
02:41It's just under an hour to kick off for the big one.
02:44You can hear what it means to the Pompey fans behind me at St Mary's Stadium.
02:47It's the South Coast derby.
02:49It's Southampton against Pompey.
