Southampton take on West Brom in the Premier League’s late kick-off.

Maurcio Pellegrino’s side have only won once at home all season and sit just one point above the Premier League’s drop zone as it stands.

West Brom have made a slightly better start to the season but will be leapfrogged by Southampton if they lost at St Mary’s this evening.

21' - Ryan Bertrand finds himself in an advanced position down the left wing and does well to beat his man to create some space in the West Brom penalty area. He cuts the ball back to Dusan Tadic but the winger's shot is straight at Ben Foster.

23' - Chance! The ball falls to Oriel Romeu in the six-yard box after a Southampton corner but the Spaniard has his back to goal and sends his effort wide.

25' - Virgil van Dijk gets good connection on an ambitious shot from 40 yards but the ball rifles just over Ben Foster's crossbar.

28' - Southampton have had the better openings in this first half but they've not got anything to show for it yet. Can they capitalise while they're the dominant team?

29' - That's fabulous from Manolo Gabbiadini. The Italian striker drives Southampton forward from inside the home team's half before delivering an inviting low cross to Shane Long inside the penalty area. However, the Irishman, without a goal in 25 games for club or country, can't sort his feet out and he puts the ball wide from just yards out.

32' - West Brom are forced into an early substitution as Allan Nyom replaces the injured Jonny Evans, who is still clearly feeling the effects of a heavy landing earlier on in the game.

35' - After some patient Southampton build-up play in the final third Cedric's cross from the right wing floats straight behind for a West Brom goal-kick. Lovely stuff.

40' - Salomon Rondon holds the ball up well as he leads a West Brom counter-attack. He's short of bodies in support but picks out Allan Nyon on the left wing. However, the substitute is extremely wasteful as he sends an ill-advised long shot well over the crossbar.
