South coast derby date moved in January
Image caption, The previous south coast derby ended in a 0-0 drawThe south coast derby between Portsmouth and Southampton has been moved to Sunday, 25 January at 12pm.
It had originally been set for the Saturday at 3pm but, mirroring the game between the two teams in September, it has now been moved to the Sunday with an earlier kick-off.
Earlier in the season Southampton and Portsmouth played out a competitive but fairly disappointing 0-0 draw at St Mary's after plenty of build up and needle between the two rivals.
The derby now moves to Fratton Park, and Saints will have a different manager in the dugout following the sacking of Will Still.
