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.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Southampton vs Tottenham Hotspur
SAVED!!! Tottenham work their way forward with a fluid passing sequence which starts in their own box, and culminates with Kulusevski finding Son for a left-footed strike which is saved and held by McCarthy!

SAVED!!! Maddison's in acres of space as he moves the ball left to Son, who goes around the outside of Walker-Peters and smashes a shot goalwards from a tight angle – which is parried by McCarthy but is judged to have hit the post, meaning a goal-kick is given!

WIDE!!! Southampton miss a glorious chance to pull once back!! Dibling stands up his marker to play Manning into space down the left, and the Irishman's first-time cross is met by Armstrong at the near post, who slides in and engages Forster put can only roll his effort wide of the target!

SAVED!!! Sours counter at breakneck speed from a Southampton free-kick as Maddison surges over halfway. He plays in Son ahead of him, and the captain's left-footed strike is tipped over the bar by McCarthy!
