Buzzing with the draw... bring it on - how fans reacted to Portsmouth drawing Southampton in the Carabao Cup third round
Pompey have been drawn against Southampton in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
The Blues will face their fierce south-coast rivals for the first time since 2012.
Southampton will travel to Fratton Park the week commencing Monday, September 23.
It was a tie so many of the Fratton faithful craved when the draw was being made.
Many got their wish – including Blues assistant manager Joe Gallen.
