Follow live coverage as Burnley face Southampton 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:

That's all from us, we'll see you for the next game. Until then, it's goodbye!

Burnley vs Southampton

A massive, massive win for Burnley puts them within just a point of Everton on the right side of the Premier League trapdoor. Their next game is before Everton's, meaning they could be out of the bottom three before the Toffees take on Liverpool! Saints, meanwhile, miss the chance to go ninth, and remain all-but safe in 13th.

Brownhill set up both of Burnley's first-half goals, and completed five key passes in total throughout the game. He also completed four crosses from six attempts, won two fouls and won possession seven times too. Industrious.

Burnley vs Southampton

Burnley take all three points in a fantastic performance at Turf Moor. Their first home game without Sean Dyche in the dugout, and the Clarets produced a masterful performance to put away Southampton with very little difficulty! The second half yielded no goals, but the game management from Burnley was exceptional and gives them real hope that Premier League survival is a more than achieveable goal!

FULL-TIME: BURNLEY 2-0 SOUTHAMPTON.

Broja looks to take on Collins, but brings him down looking to get around the outside of him and concedes a free-kick.

Lennon's long ball forward sees Vydra put Lyanco under all sorts of pressure, hurrying him into a bad touch that forces the ball loose and Lennon races onto it!

Just the FIVE minutes of added time yet to play, and this one's not cooling off anytime soon!

Burnley vs Southampton

This performance has been excellent from start to finish from the Clarets. Southampton may have had more noteworthy chances in this half than the first, but Burnley have consistently tested Forster, and you wouldn't bet against them adding a third before the game is done!

Burnley vs Southampton

OVER!!! McNeil drives inside from the right and has a go from the edge of the box, blasting a good effort just over the top of the bar!!
