Southampton vs Ipswich Town LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

KICK-OFF: Ipswich get us underway!

The teams are out on the pitch and we're ready for kick-off!

Jack Stephens is suspended after his red card against Manchester United, so Harwood-Bellis comes into the backline to replace him. Brereton Diaz and Ugochukwu also drop out in place of Lallana and Fraser as Russell Martin attempts to freshen his squad up. Tyler Dibling starts again after a very impressive performance last time out, he will want to repay the faith that his manager has put in him. Archer starts up top again despite his penalty miss previously. As for Ipswich, there is only one change to note: Kalvin Phillips misses out on the matchday squad, and Cajuste replaces him in midfield. Delap has looked strong in attack for Ipswich, he begins up front again with an unchanged bank of three behind him. Burns, Hutchinson and Szmodics support him from behind, and the rest of the team also remains the same as their 0-0 draw with Brighton.

IPSWICH SUBS: Christian Walton, Ben Johnson, Chiedozie Ogbene, Conor Townsend, Conor Chaplin, Jack Taylor, Massimo Luongo, George Hirst, Jack Clarke.

Kieron McKenna, like his counterpart, has had a tough start to the season but can boast two important points from the opening four games. Although it is still early in the season, Ipswich sit outside of the relegation zone after a 0-0 draw away at Brighton in their last game. They have shown glimpses of quality in attack after scoring early against Manchester City and Fulham, but they couldn’t capitalise on their advantages. Similarly to Southampton, Ipswich will see this game as a big chance to get their first win of the season after coming close in recent weeks.

Russell Martin has had a torrid start to this Premier League season; Southampton sit in the pits of the table, only saved from the bottom spot due to goal difference. They have lost all four of their games in the league and have only scored once. In their previous game, they saw a first-half penalty saved by Manchester United’s Andre Onana before conceding minutes later. They went on to lose the game 3-0 to further dampen spirits on the South Coast. Today will be seen as a huge opportunity to pick up their first points of the season as they face a fellow promoted team.

The last time these two sides faced each other was on the 1st of April, when both teams were in the Championship. The game ended in a 3-2 win to Ipswich, which completed the double over Southampton for the campaign after a 1-0 win earlier in the season. There have only been six head-to-head meetings since 2011, and the results have been evenly split, with both teams winning two games and two games ending in a draw.
