Southampton's new manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has expressed his hope that Saints fans will be able to help his team with a good atmosphere on Sunday.
The new Saints boss takes charge of his first home game since arriving on Sunday and hopes the team's fans will be able to "row the boat with us".
Hasenhuttl has supplied all season-ticket holders with drinks vouchers for the game - a gesture he believes could go a long way.
"Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a guy who always brings everyone in our boat to row with us," Hasenhuttl said.
"It's very important to have a good relationship. I talked a lot of times about that you can feel ever day that Southampton football club is a very, very important part of everybody's life here in this area.
"Everyone wants to keep this club in this division so for us it's a big chance to help them get lucky again and all we want to do is to make it possible that we have fantastic moments again and emotional moments.
"You never know, maybe on Sunday comes the first win since a long time in St. Mary's Stadium.
"They can celebrate whenever they want (with the free drinks), and if they can celebrate a win on Sunday, they should do it and I'm the first to congratulate them."
