Lewis Morgan can't wait for tomorrow's match against Dundee United after confessing he feels like he's at his best in big matches.
Saints host top of the table United aiming to add to the three points gained against Livingston last week.
It was the 20 year-old who grabbed the winner the last time the two sides met in Paisley, with the Buddies running out 3-2 winners.
And he is relishing tomorrow's match in front of what will be a 4,000 strong crowd at the Paisley 2021 Stadium.
It should be a great game," Lewis told stmirren.com.
"These are the games you look forward to. It could arguably be a Premiership fixture as it has been in the recent past.
"I feel like I thrive in the bigger games and tend to do well in them.
"They have similar ambitions to us in that they are wanting to go up.
"But I think our strongest eleven is as strong as anyones in this league so I don't think we have anything to be fearful of.
"We are playing at home and we should be trying to make this place a bit of a fortress.
"Six points from nine at the start of the season is always tricky as teams are always trying to impress and we've had lots of new players have come in.
"It was a disappointing result at Morton, but we had 10 men.
"But going down to 10 men again last week and winning kind of shows how much we focused and learned how to regroup.
"I think overall it's been a good start to the season and the boys are settling in."
Morgan was speaking after the news that he has been called up to the Scotland U21s for the upcoming European Championship qualifier against Holland.
The winger was called up to the squad for the first time in March after an impressive season.
And, following a man of the match performance in his debut for the U21s and continued good form, the 20 year-old has again been selected by Scot Gemmill for the qualifier at the Paisley 2021 Stadium.
I'm always happy to get international recognition," he said.
"I think it's quite a big thing for the club to be producing players that are going to be playing at this level.
"I feel I've performed quite well and I've added more goals to my game now as well.
"I'm just happy to be involved."
