Virgil van Dijk places the ball on the ground, takes a couple of steps back...
The defender is taking this...
Poor. He smacks the ball straight at the wall and it is cleared.

Shane Long almost makes an instant impact as he glances a header just wide of goal.
Free-kick for Southampton 30 yards out now though...

And could this make the difference?
A double change for Southampton as forward Shane Long replaces midfielder Jordy Clasie and midfielder James Ward-Prowse comes on for defender Cedric Soares.
Ronald Koeman is going for it.

Cadiz 0-0 Real Madrid
With Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale absent, all eyes are on James Rodriguez as Real Madrid kick off their Copa del Rey tie at Cadiz.
With the second leg of the last 32 tie to come at the Bernabeu, James' performance should be headline news following reports of a rift with coach Rafa Benitez.

That's just a little taster for you from Daniel Sturridge. There is more to come. Wonderful.

Night over for Daniel Sturridge.
Not a bad contribution either as his two goals helped turned this tie around.
The striker is replaced by Jordan Ibe.

Southampton 1-3 Liverpool
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been training with the club to keep himself fit before returning to LA Galaxy in January for the new Major League Soccer season.
He won't play but that doesn't stop Liverpool fans from singing his name.

Jurgen Klopp is right to use Adam Lallana in a central role. Don't play him wide, where he doesn't have the pace. But he has the trickery and the ability to see what's around him when he plays in the middle.

Adam Lallana is enjoying himself.
The Liverpool midfielder collects the ball 40 yards from goal, turns, cuts inside and sends a shot well wide.

Southampton are giving this a go.
They need a goal fairly soon though.
A Liverpool goal and you have to say it is game over.

Southampton's Graziano Pelle chases the ball towards goal, he appears to be tugged by Martin Skrtel, but still gets his shot away from the edge of the penalty area. Easy for goalkeeper Adam Bodgan though.

Barcelona 6-1 Villanovense
It's a hat-trick for Sandro Ramirez to send Barcelona comfortably into the last 16 of the Copa del Rey.
There was to be no repeat of the surprise 0-0 draw in the first leg as third-division Villanovense could not cope at the Nou Camp.
Without Lionel Messi, Neymar or Luis Suarez, Dani Alves grabbed the first for Barca and young forward Munir scored twice. Juanfran - not that one - briefly made it 2-1 for Villanovense.

Southampton have switched to three at the back. I don't think Ronald Koeman was happy with how his two centre-backs were dealing with Liverpool's strikers, so he has put Victor Wanyama there to tidy up around them.

A tactical switch for Southampton as they go three at the back.
Victor Wanyama moves alongside Steven Caulker and Virgil van Dijk.

Decent start for the Saints.
