Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana hopes Southampton fans respect him.
Lallana was part of the Southampton side that climbed from League One to the Premier League.
"Deep down I hope Saints fans appreciate the times we had at the club together," he said.
"Football is a fickle game - if I do get the jeers and the boos I'm just going to take it as them missing me playing down there because I miss Southampton.
"I miss the fans and I miss the good times we had down there. Of course I do."
