Follow live coverage as Southampton face Newcastle United 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 Newcastle United

Newcastle get back to winning ways right away, but were made to work for it at St. Mary's. They fell behind inside 10 minutes, but recovered quickly wit ha double from Isak later in the first half. A third was added a few minutes into the second period as they were able to hold off Southampton and continue their dominant record against the Saints, who lose once again. The xG at full-time reads 2.87 - 0.76 in the Magpies' favour. Thank you for tuning into this live text commentary between Southampton and Newcastle, which ends 3-1 to the visitors. All the very best, and until the next time.

Almiron does very well to drive into the box, beating a few Southampton players before trying to get a cross in. Unfortunately for him, McCarthy comes out and denies him. Newcastle get a corner out of it though.

After speaking with his VAR officails, the goal is called back as Fernandes was offside at the time McCarthy played the ball to him. Newcastle escape there as they really fell asleep.
