Follow all the action from St. Mary's Stadium
Follow live coverage as Southampton face Liverpool 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.

Southampton vs Liverpool
The battle for the Premier League title goes on for Liverpool tonight after their FA Cup triumph over Chelsea on penalties at the weekend. Jurgen Klopp and his team secured their second crown of the season, but will be desperate to take the Premier League title race into the final game and need a victory tonight to put the pressure on Manchester City. The Reds have been in supreme form of late, but need one final effort to attempt to complete an unprecedented quadruple.
Southampton vs Liverpool
Southampton are safe from the threat of relegation, although their recent form almost put them in trouble near the foot of the Premier League table. The Saints have won only one of their last 11 matches in the top flight and were beaten with ease in their last outing by Brentford on the road. Ralph Hasenhuttl did come under fire from sections of the Southampton support at Brentford Community Stadium, and will be under pressure to deliver a response tonight.
