Follow live coverage as Southampton face Newcastle United 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:

Southampton vs Newcastle United

Brilliant defending! It is Willock back there, who earns congratulations from Burn. Adams turns on the ball in the box and looks to shot on goal until the midfielder lunges in to block, allowing Dubravka to gather.

A strong Newcastle defensive line earns an offside call, giving the Magpies the chance to get the ball back up the other end once more.

Forster's latest poor kick gives possession back to Newcastle, before Adam Armstrong dives in to challenge Burn. It only gives Newcastle a throw-in and more time to take, however.

A better Ward-Prowse corner than several that have gone before reaches the six-yard box, where Burn can only head behind. But the next set-piece is straight into the hands of Dubravka.

There will be a minimum of six minutes of added time. There is plenty of time for Southampton to get something from this game yet.

Djenepo is causing the problems Hasenhuttl would have hoped for. He gets in down the left and Schar has to come across to block, conceding another corner. Krafth requires treatment this time, meanwhile, having stayed down after taking an arm to the head.

Huge save! Walker-Peters crosses towards Salisu at the far post and he gets good direction on this header, back across Dubravka towards the bottom corner. The goalkeeper shows his agility by scooping the ball away, before a defender clears.
