Southampton defender Jack Stephens has said he has spoken to some of his team-mates about the importance of Saints' rivalry with Portsmouth before Sunday's derby (12:00 BST) - the first league meeting between the clubs for 13 years.
Stephens told BBC Radio Solent: "I've only been involved as a player in one other South Coast derby so I'm really looking forward to this one.
"I'm hoping the fans can get behind us, which I'm sure they will be, because it's a big game for the club and the city. Hopefully we can get those three points.
