PORTSMOUTH welcome Southampton for a huge Carabao Cup third round grudge match.
This is a derby with added spice and there’s never a dull affair between these two sides, with just 19 miles separating them along the south coast.

In footballing terms though, it’s the Saints who have seen the better of the last few years and currently sit 13th in the Premier League.
Pompey are looking to get back into the Championship this season after a seven year absence and have seen off QPR and Birmingham to reach this stage.
What time is kick-off?
THIS third round clash is set for Tuesday, September 24.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm.
When the sides last met in a Championship game way back in 2012, they played out a 2-2 draw.
If this match finishes level, the sides will skip extra-time and go straight to penalties.
