Follow all the action from St. Mary's Stadium
Follow live coverage as Southampton face Ipswich Town 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 Ipswich Town
Davis is finding it hard to break down the left side of the pitch, every time he goes forward, he is closed down by two or more players. Brilliant management from Russell Martin to keep that avenue quiet.
Southampton vs Ipswich Town
Another half-chance for Southampton, Lallana slices his shot on the edge of the box, which causes it to float in the direction of Dibling again. He contests the header but can’t get any contact on the ball.

Not much happening as the game edges towards halftime; Southampton are more than happy to sit on their lead until the interval.
Southampton vs Ipswich Town
Dibling has once again shown his quality in this game, as he nearly breaks out of a tight area. He was brought down and looked to be in pain—if only he was wearing some shin pads!
Southampton vs Ipswich Town
The overall balance of the game has become much more equal as Southampton have grown into the game after going ahead. Archer hitting the post has given them the belief to go and get another goal, it seems.

Fraser goes down under a challenge in the air from Morsy, it looked painful, but Fraser gets back to his feet promptly, and the game is resumed.
Southampton vs Ipswich Town
This has been a great game for a neutral so far. Both teams realise how important a win could be, and they are both going for it!
Southampton vs Ipswich Town
OFF THE POST!!! Archer nearly makes it 2-0! He is played through the middle of the Ipswich defence and rounds Muric, only to see his effort hit the upright as he falls to the ground. SO close!

Southampton are enjoying a spell of possession now, which has been hard to come by during this half.
