Follow all the action from St. Mary's Stadium
Follow live coverage as Southampton face Tottenham Hotspur today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

CHANCE!!! Saints win a corner which is initially dealt with before Aribo swings another ball in from the left. Wood arrives at the far post and volleys back across the face of goal, but can't quite pick out the far corner or a team-mate as the ball flashes wide!
