Follow live coverage as Southampton face Everton today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Southampton vs Everton

Southampton released Archer up the field, but he looked up and had no support! In the end, it didn’t matter as he was offside, but if the home team want to score goals, they have to support each other in attack.

Southampton vs Everton

Ndiaye tries to sneak a reverse ball through the Southampton defence, but they stand strong. Over the past few minutes, this game has begun swinging from end to end, but still, there have been no real chances.

Southampton vs Everton

Southampton have had 77 percent of possession in the last 10 minutes, indicating again how Russell Martin has set them up to play. It comes with plenty of heart-in-mouth moments, and so far they haven’t used that possession to create anything.

Southampton vs Everton

Lindstrom delivers a nice ball across the face of the goal, looking for Ndiaye at the back post. Unfortunately for them, Ndiaye was close to the cross, but not close enough, and it rolled out for a throw.

Southampton vs Everton

CHANCE! Downes gets the ball caught under his foot on the edge of his box after playing out from the back, and McNeil jumps on the opportunity to steal possession. He passes to Calvert-Lewin, who is unable to get a shot away in the middle of the Southampton box. That could’ve easily been 1-0.

Southampton vs Everton

There has been 10 minutes of play so far, and it has gone exactly as expected. Neither team has taken a risk in attack yet, and both teams are happy to have the ball at their feet with relatively low danger.

Southampton vs Everton

After a small break in play due to an injury, Pickford gets the game back under way with a long punt up the pitch. Stephens rises to nod it down and begins the patterns of play in defence that Southampton have often been criticised for this season.

Southampton vs Everton

Walker-Peters tries sliding a ball through to Armstrong, who is always a willing runner. Mykolenko does brilliantly to stick a leg out and stop the potential danger. Good defending early on from Everton.

Southampton vs Everton

Lindstrom strikes the set-piece past the wall, but straight at Ramsdale, who collects with ease. Ramsdale distributes the ball, giving Southampton a chance to break, but nothing comes of the opportunity.

2 November 2024 15:03

Southampton vs Everton

Ndiaye goes down a few yards outside of the Southampton box, giving Everton an early chance on goal from the free-kick.
