Ipswich began their campaign with a dramatic 1-1 draw away at Birmingham City, George Hirst converting a 95th-minute penalty to rescue a point.
Their return to domestic cup action was short lived, with a Carabao Cup first-round exit compounding a mixed start to the season.
Southampton opened with a late 2-1 home win over Wrexham, Ryan Manning scoring a spectacular free-kick before setting up Jack Stephens for a stoppage time winner.
The Saints also progressed in the Carabao Cup, offering early encouragement in their push for promotion.
Both sides are unbeaten after the opening weekend, and with ambitions of a swift return to the top flight, Sunday’s clash promises an early season marker between two of the division’s heavyweight contenders.
