The sun is shining on Selhurst Park and both goalkeepers have struggled to see the ball.

But Alex Palmer and Dean Henderson have managed to keep out all three shots on target that we've witnessed so far.

It's all a little frustrating for the leaders. Kostas Tsimikas is booked for a foul on Kyle Walker-Peters. From the free-kick, Southampton win a corner. This is not one-way traffic.

Darwin Nunez swivels and he tried to drive the ball with his weaker left foot. Aaron Ramsdale makes a comfortable save.

The chances are starting to fall for Liverpool.

A first serious sight of goal for Darwin Nunez and he manages to force Aaron Ramsdale into a save with a shot on the turn.

Alex Iwobi has nowhere to go on the ball in his own half and the Brighton players hunt him down in a pack and retake the ball. The Seagulls are starting to sustain attacks now.

Up and down is how I would describe this atmosphere. At times it's almost silent.

I'm not sure many - including us neutrals - were expecting this game to be so close.

That's more like it!

Joao Pedro controls the ball on the edge of the box, turns and fires a powerful effort towards goal. It's straight at Bernd Leno but he handles it well.

This is starting to open up. Trent Alexander-Arnold forces a save from Aaron Ramsdale inside a crowded penalty area before Darwin Nunez heads another chance over.

I can't lie to you, it's all a bit flat.

Julio Enciso, on loan at Ipswich from Brighton, twists and turns inside the box before forcing a good save out of Crystal Palace keeper Dean Henderson at his near post.

Ipswich have not been without their chances so far in this game.

Emile Smith Rowe drives hard and low at the Brighton goal and it takes a slight touch off Jan Paul van Hecke before drifting out for a corner - which Brighton clear with ease.

Brilliant from Southampton. They were deep in their own hall, and they go all the way up the pitch.

Trent Alexander-Arnold had to stay alert in his own box.

A bit of defending to do for Liverpool. Southampton growing in confidence.

Decent from Mateus Fernandes who forces a save from Alisson with an attempt from outside the box. It followed a Southampton corner. The visitors are growing into this.

Brighton's xG so far in this game is 0.10 while Fulham's is even lower at 0.05. Tells you a lot about what's going on so far.

Crystal Palace continue to threaten and Eberechi Eze is slipped through inside the box before he pulls the trigger.

But Jacob Greaves throws himself in front of the effort and makes a crucial block for the visitors.

A real blow for Southampton and Jan Bednarek as the captain has been forced off with that head injury.

Armel Bella-Kotchap is on in his place, and now they will be looking to get into this game as it has been all Liverpool so far.
