Roger East blows his whistle for HT. Southampton on top through Virgil Van Dijk's first goal for the club, but Swansea haven't really got going yet.
What will Garry Monk say to his men during the break?
Southampton 1-0 Swansea
Saints keeper Maarten Stekelenburg is off his blocks to clear the ball played into the path for the marauding Bafetimbi Gomis.
Do the Swans have a Plan B? Plan A hasn't worked so far.
Southampton 1-0 Swansea
Southampton's Victor Wanyama goes into the book for pulling back Gylfi Sigurdsson.
He's a bit unlucky to get a yellow card because it hasn't been a dirty game.

Nordfeldt can sit back down.

There are seven minutes remaining until HT. Saints striker Graziano Pelle is flagged offside as he is played in by Sadio Mane. In Pelle's attempts to get the ball he collides with keeper Lukasz Fabianski, who needs a bit of post-collision injury attention on the pitch. Kristoffer Nordfeldt is warming up.
Southampton 1-0 Swansea
Southampton back on the attack again. Sadio Mane tries an effort from 20 yards that Lukasz Fabianski easily collects. A gentle jab into the body, if anything.
Southampton 1-0 Swansea
A cross comes in from the left and Graziano Pelle, looking for his fifth of the season, flicks his header over from 12 yards. Actually, if they show the chance on Match of the Day later, some of you lot will probably say it wasn't really a chance.
Southampton 1-0 Swansea
Referee Roger East, who has enjoyed an easy ride, has a stern word or three with Southampton's Graziano Pelle and Swansea's Ashley Williams. It's been a game played in good spirits though... cue red card...
Southampton 1-0 Swansea
Swansea are seeing a lot more of the ball now. Can they get a goal before half-time? We are 15 minutes away from a cuppa.

Gylfi Sigurdsson fires over, but his free-kick takes a deflection and goes out for a corner which... comes to nothing.

Martin Keown
Former Arsenal defender on Final Score
Quote MessageI think Gomez switches off and Van Dijk climbs up to get there. It's a good bit of business to bring him from Celtic. This has the makings of a great game today.
Southampton 1-0 Swansea
Southampton are playing some fantastic football on the deck. Swansea have not been able to get into the game. Ryan Bertrand and Dusan Tadic have been working really well for the Saints down the left.
Virgil van Dijk
It was coming, but it was a case of who would score first.
First blood to Southampton. Virgil van Dijk, a summer signing from Celtic, arrives at the near post like a steam train to head in James Ward-Prowse's corner from the left.
Southampton 0-0 Swansea
Sadio Mane screws half-a-foot wide from six yards out after the Swansea defence fail to clear Graziano Pelle's through-ball.
Efforts on goal stats are already totting up.
Southampton 0-0 Swansea
Swansea midfielder Jonjo Shelvey launches a stinger towards keeper Maarten Stekelenburg who punches away. Ki Sung-yueng scoops over with the follow-up.
What a great start to the game.

Wait a sec. Southampton's Graziano Pelle attempts a shot from 16 yards but fails to connect. Moments later Sadio Mane, who scored twice in the 6-0 League Cup win over MK Dons, fires over from the edge of the area. Poor effort really.
