Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Southampton today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent.

Newcastle start off their campaign after an injury-plagued 2023-24 season where they competed in all competitions. But this season they have not qualified for European football and can be firmly focused on their Premier League fortunes.

The Magpies have been linked to the likes of Marc Guehi, and reportedly have put in offers for the Crystal Palace defender, but there have not been any new arrivals of note on Tyneside.

Southampton have returned to the top flight at the first time of asking having been in the Championship last season and face a daunting task with a trip to St James’ Park.

Southampton are ending the half strongly as Aribon wins them a corner kick. Smallbone plays it into the near post and the Newcastle defence finally clear their lines after some difficulties.

CLOSE! Sugawara does well to beat his marker and plays a deep cross into the box. Brereton arrives at the far post and gets his head to the delivery, but fails to hit the target.

Smallbone stands over the free-kick, but he takes it short to Aribo whose through ball into the box goes harmlessly out for a goal kick! That is a missed opportunity for the visitors to put some pressure on the Newcastle defence.

Newcastle's Burn brings down Aribo just outside the box and Southampton have a free-kick in a very promising position here!

Brereton is the player who is booed the most as he tries to initiate a Southampton attack. The Saints are definitely on the ascend here as Newcastle are yet to recover from the red card.

St. James' Park is filled with whistles and jeers as the crowd here makes their disapproval of that red card to their defender Schar very loud and clear!
