Follow live coverage as Southampton face Wolverhampton Wanderers 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 Wolverhampton Wanderers

It is a crucial 2-1 win for Wolves which moves them nine points clear of the bottom three and a step closer to playing Premier League football again next season, something which cannot be said of Southampton, who fall to their 24th defeat in 29 matches. The visitors struck first against the run of play thanks to Strand Larsen's fantastic header and the Norwegian striker doubled their advantage two minutes into the second half with an accurate low finish. On both occassions Bellegarde was the provider, as the midfielder moved onto six assists for the season. Southampton had chances in the second half, when Sa had to deny Dibling and Onuachu in quick succession. Dibling's curling effort, which hit a post, then teed up Onuachu to tap the ball into an empty net and set up a tense final 15 minutes. Wolves held strong defensively despite losing both Ait-Nouri and Semedo to cramp. Wolves created an xG of 0.44 compared to an xG creation of 0.93 for the hosts. Southampton stay bottom of the Premier League table and face Crystal Palace at home next, whilst Wolves stay 17th despite this win and host West Ham in their next match. That is all from me. Thanks for joining me and goodbye.
