Newcastle United vs Southampton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from St. James' Park
Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Southampton in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 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:
Newcastle United vs Southampton
More chances fall Newcastle's way as Willock sees his effort blocked behind for a corner. From the set piece, Wilson's header is tipped over the bar by McCarthy with the follow-up corner going all the way through the box and out for a goal kick.

Another Newcastle shot, another Southampton block. Bednarek launches himself to divert Guimaraes' effort behind for a corner but it's wave after wave of Newacaslte pressure at the minute. The corner is cleared to the edge of the box but Willock''s effort is saved well by McCarthy.

Another great block from the Saints defence, this time to deny Murphy's low shot.
