Follow live coverage as Southampton face Crystal Palace in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.

It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

After Olise draws Walker-Peters into a challenge on the right byline, Crystal Palace have an early corner-kick. However, the set-piece opportunity ultimately comes to nothing.

The half-time scoreline should really come as no surprise: Crystal Palace have now failed to score a first-half goal in 22 of their 31 Premier League fixtures this season; only Southampton (23) have done so more often.

While Southampton have enjoyed more of the ball and restricted Crystal Palace to only two shots at goal so far, it has been an almost event-free first half at St Mary's. The hosts have been brighter on the ball than their visitors from the capital, but neither side has offered a substantial attacking threat. As Saints' need for the points is arguably greater, will they push harder to break through after the interval? Surely Palace can improve on such an insipid display too.

Olise steals the ball from Aribo in midfield, sparking a chance to make a rare foray into the Southampton box, but once again Palace's final ball lacks accuracy and is cleared away.
