Saido Berahino adds some pace to the West Brom with his presence helping earn a corner. The Baggies fans find their voice but it is cleared. Moments later Callum McManaman attempts to curl one in but shoots a few yard wide. 

Wow, Maarten Stekelenburg has got away with one in the Southampton goal. He's been under-employed so far and almost makes a right hash of a deep cross, which loops up into the air. Despite dropping it, he manages to fall on top of the ball with Gareth McAuley loitering.

So 10 days after he said he would never play under chairman Jeremy Peace again, the West Brom striker is back on the pitch. A goal here would go down very nicely.

Saido Berahino is coming on to a mixed response, replacing Rickie Lambert. 

Southampton's Victor Wanyama appeals for a penalty as he heads goalwards at the back post but it looked like he hit Darren Fletcher's back.

Not a thriller this, so Saido's introduction cannot come soon enough. The longer it goes on, the more you think Southampton might be the first team to score.

Saido Berahino takes a run down the touchline and most fans give him a round of applause. A few boos but mostly positive, which will be heartening for the Baggies striker. 

Saido Berahino's integration moves a step closer as he stands up to receive instructions from the West Brom coaching staff. 

Southampton debutant Virgil van Dijk gets his head on the set-piece, but it skews wide and West Brom clear. 

Southampton's Dusan Tadic moans at Graziano Pelle for not putting him through on goal. But he wins a corner. 

The Saints get us under way again.

Saido Berahino is out on the pitch doing a half-time warm-up with the other players. He's still very aware of this surroundings, shall we say. 

Without much else going on, the debate at half-time will centre on Callum McManaman's penalty appeal. Replays show that he touched the ball past Matt Taargett, who had dived in, but it looked like the West Brom winger was already flying before he got touched. It will certainly divide opinion!

And that is that for the first half. Pretty subdued at the Hawthorns, get Saido on! 

Steven Davis marauds down the right now, but West Brom snuff the attack out. 

West Brom striker Salomon Rondon leads a break but gets the ball caught up under his feet. Once Southampton are settled in defence, the Baggies are struggling to make any inroads. Two minutes of added time.

Another attack down Southampton's right, this time Cedric Soares loops a cross to the back post where Craig Dawson heads clear for a corner. Boaz Myhill punches that clear. 

Dusan Tadic cuts inside from the right wing and delivers another cross, which is just too deep for Graziano Pelle. No doubting Southampton's main source of attack, though.
