Now Southampton have the ball coming forward.

But there are so many Argyle green shirts back to defend.

Both sides look well up for this one.

Southampton are overplaying here early on.

With this electric crowd and Argyle press, it's a bit risky.

You need to know your surroundings.

The home side have started brightly.

The referee blows their whistle and we are under way at a beautifully sunny sold-out Home Park.

Pilgrims versus Saints, it already sounds like an epic destined to live on in football folklore for generations.

Let’s hope it lives up to my billing.

They're also getting started between Wigan and Bolton in League One.

Southampton have looked a little streaky so far this season.

They followed up their opening-day Championship win with a shock defeat at League Two Gillingham in the EFL Cup - and then drew against Norwich at home in a chaotic eight-goal thriller last weekend.

Saints are looking a little thin in midfield following the departures of James Ward-Prowse and Romeo Lavia, and injury to Will Smallbone.

It's early days for new boss Russell Martin - who has had his best players poached by Premier League clubs - but he will be hoping his side can settle a little before things start getting a little too baggy around the edges.

Last season's League One champions Plymouth Argyle have looked mightily impressive during the early stages of the Championship campaign.

They comfortably dispatched Huddersfield on opening day, progressed in the EFL Cup with a win over Leyton Orient and recent Premier League side Watford to a goalless draw last weekend.

Steven Schumacher will know his side face their biggest test of the young season so far when Saints come to town.

But there is no doubt they are well up for the challenge.

Definitely expect some goals. Both sides are undefeated and both sides have their shooting boots on so far this season.

Plymouth have taken to the Championship like a duck-to-water and they look strong.

Their record at Home Park is formidable but this will be their biggest test in a while.

Southampton have started brightly as well and have already notched up a decent away win on opening day, but they need to bolster that defence to avoid chasing games.

This is going to be interesting for sure.

Che Adams, who is being linked with a move to Everton, gets the start for Saints.

Southampton: Bazunu, Manning, Stephens (capt), Bednarek, Walker-Peters, Armstrong, Charles, Edozie, Armstrong, Tella. Adams.
