Follow all the action from St. Mary's Stadium
Follow live coverage as Southampton face Newcastle United in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.
European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.
Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 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:
Southampton vs Newcastle United
Adam Armstrong brings the crowd to life with another piece of skill that sells Krafth and then earns a corner. The set-piece is very easily cleared, however.
Southampton vs Newcastle United
Newcastle do look tired in attack. They are working well to win the ball high up the pitch but lack the quality to make the most of their opportunities. Willock and Shelvey harry a mistake from Bednarek, but Murphy can do nothing with a shooting opportunity.
Southampton vs Newcastle United
Dubravka is busy all of a sudden but this one is easy enough, running out to take an optimistic pass forward out of the air. Newcastle have 10 minutes to hold on; Saints have 10 minutes to find a leveller.

Another chance! This is a clearer opportunity but a simpler Dubravka save, as the right-wing corner reaches Salisu. The defender has a good sight of goal with his header but aims it straight at Dubravka.
Southampton vs Newcastle United
Dubravka saves! Southampton have created little in the second half but are almost level through a mishit Livramento cross, which threatens to drop beneath the crossbar until the Newcastle goalkeeper parries over.
