WHAT A GOAL!

Lemina hits a sensational strike from 25 yards that rockets into the top corner! GET IN!

Tadić shot deflects over the top

Plenty of ball now for Saints. They come forward again through Tadiç is shot spins off Chris Brunt and onto the roof of the net. 

Carrillo fires wide

Nice link-up play between Dušan Tadić and Guido Carrillo works room for the striker on the edge of the area, but he drags his shot wide of the near post.

Cédric produces a lovely delivery from the right that is turned behind by Craig Dawson, before Albion clear the resulting corner.

Boufal goes close to an equaliser

We're under way! 

Let's do this, Saints! 👊

Back in the line-up

Mario Lemina is today restored to the starting line-up, having been absent for the last two games.

I expect the whole team to be connected with the game. we have to try to manage the ball more than them.

Today's skipper! 👊

With Steven Davis and Maya Yoshida among the substitutes, it's Ryan Bertrand who takes the captain's armband for this afternoon's game.

I'm sure it will be a very difficult game. west brom has a very good squad, but we also trust our abilities and we have come here for the win.

Gabbiadini doubtful for Saints

Mauricio Pellegrino's pre-match injury update revealed that striker Manolo Gabbiadini is suffering from a hip injury and is doubtful for the trip to The Hawthorns. Fellow frontman Charlie Austin remains absent too, but there is otherwise a clean bill of health for the Saints squad.

Fans to take part in special Cyrille Regis tribute

West Bromwich Albion will today be celebrating the life and influence of their legendary former player Cyrille Regis, who passed away last month. Fans of both clubs are being encouraged to raise their scarves during a special tribute video, while there will also be a minute's applause ahead of kick-off.

Can Saints repeat last season's success?

A win would be huge for Southampton today, and they got one when they visited West Brom last season, with Jordy Clasie's sweet strike the only goal of the game. Watch our highlights from that encounter, in April 2017.

Pellegrino's pre-match interview

We visited Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino ahead of the game to get his thoughts on a big afternoon for his team. Watch the interview above...

It's matchday... and it's a big one! 😇

Welcome to Matchday Live! It's a big day in the Premier League, as third-from-bottom Saints visit the division's 20th-placed team, West Brom. There's no doubting how much the three points would mean to each side, and a win would see Southampton end the day outside of the relegation zone.
