Southampton vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
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 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:

Newcastle United move up to third in the Premier League courtesy of their fourth win on the bounce, defeating Southampton 4-1 at St Mary's Stadium. Miguel Almiron fired the visitors ahead with his eighth goal of the campaign. Southampton should have hit back, but Mohamed Elyounoussi and Che Adams both missed glorious chances. The Magpies made them pay as Chris Wood and Joe Willock were clinical in front of goal to put Eddie Howe's men three goals to the good. Romain Perraud got one back for the hosts, but Bruno Guimaraes scored a fine effort in stoppage time to restore Newcastle's three-goal advantage and secure a dominant win on the road.
