Wesley Hoedt mis-controls outside the box, almost putting Roberto Firmino through on goal but he gets back to shrug the Liverpool forward off the ball and allow keeper Alex McCarthy time to gather. There's a bit of shirt tugging, but referee Martin Atkinson doesn't blow for a foul.

Southampton look nervous.

Mohamed Salah - on 28 goals in all competitions this season - wins Liverpool an early corner with a determined run inside the box. He then pings the ball into the area but Southampton clear.

We're up and running at St Mary's.

Five of the next six Premier League games away for Southampton. They really need to put on a performance and get a result to ease fans' fears of relegation.

The players are out on the pitch. Not long until the day's final game gets under way.

Rafa Benitez jokes that goalkeeper Martin Dubravka should buy a lottery ticket tonight as he will win.

He also says that this win will give his team confidence for the rest of the season.

This is how it looked at St Mary's about one hour ago, doesn't look anything like that now. There's just been a massive hailstorm. The weather can change in an instant.

The same can be said about the bottom of the Premier League table. Huddersfield started the day in it, won to move out dropping Newcastle into it. They beat Manchester United to move up to 13th and drop Southampton into the relegation zone.

That means the Saints will be determined to get the three points this afternoon but so will Liverpool. If they win they will move to within two points of second place.

For both this game is massive. For Liverpool they’ll want to be in the top four and secure Champions League football. If they don’t win it opens the door for Chelsea if they get the right result tomorrow, Jurgen Klopp needs to ensure they pick up the right result.

For Southampton a point put them up to 15th and a win takes them to 13th. At both ends of the table this is massive.

Manchester United

Manchester United defender Phil Jones: "We didn't show up today, we started slow. They pressed us, the crowd were on their feet.

"We got control midway through the first half and should have scored but we weren't at the races, we weren't good enough, simple as.

"For whatever reason we weren't good enough. Ultimately we have conceded a sloppy goal. The lads are devastated in the dressing room."

Jose Mourinho confirms that there is no injury problem for Paul Pogba.

Ben: Mourinho does not win at St James'. FACT

Chris: Great result Newcastle! That has blown the top 4 race wide open.

Anon: Great result for Newcastle but it's not the 4-0 or 5-1 games against Man U I grew up watching. We've effectively parked the bus at home and nicked a goal. How the mighty have fallen!

Manchester United

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho on Sky Sports: "They fought like animals - I hope they take that as a compliment. The gods of football were on their side. It wasn't going to happen for us today. Newcastle gave what they have and what they don't have, that's a beautiful thing in football.

"They fought for their point, a point is what they had in mind. We made a defensive mistake and when they are in front they had only one thing in mind and gave their lives to keep a clean sheet."

Fantastic last save from Martin Dubravka down to his left, just a reaction save on his goal line.

He was fantastic today, Jonjo Shelvey was fantastic today. What a performance from Newcastle, and you have to say they deserved to win the match.

Stavros: It's times like these I wish we still had Sir Alex Ferguson.He would have made them walk back to Manchester for under-performing today.

Anon: I'd never have given a game up in the past. Man Utd would more often than not find a way to win. As soon as Newcastle scored I had no hope we'd salvage anything. How times have changed. Very sad.

You didn't expect Newcastle to end the day there did you?

What a debut that is from Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka. He ends the day with three saves to his name, but his performance was about much more than that. He was excellent.

Dave: Defeats to Newcastle & Huddersfield? The fancy Dan players at Man Utd are really messing up the relegation fight.

Anon: Aguero alone scores in one weekend what Manchester United players collectively scored in 3 weekends Just shows the difference in the quality of players in both the Manchester clubs. At this rate, Manchester United have a long way to go.

What a big win that is for Newcastle. They fly up to 13th place!
