Leeds United

Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips speaks to BBC sports editor Dan Roan about "relentless and passionate" manager Marcelo Bielsa, looking forward to playing in the Premier League and getting his first England cap.

Adam Salter: I personally think the delayed flag is a brilliant addition. Flagging after the goal ensures that it will definitely be the correct decision. Early flagging risks preventing a goal that should be. It also means VAR will be used to allow goals, rather than disallow

Southampton

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl: "You could see it was not so easy to switch immediately on. I think it was a tough game for us especially after going a goal down early on.

"In the end we were not quick enough and did not stretch our opponents enough.

"Crystal Palace always play like that. They give you the game and then have one or two counter attacks. We had two or three good chances and so you end up with no goals and no points.

"I spoke last season about how referee should go to the screen more often so I think this was absolutely better with the VAR now."

Leeds' most recent win against Liverpool was by 2-1 in the Premier League at Anfield in April 2001.

Rio Ferdinand and Lee Bowyer scored for the visitors, while Steven Gerrard netted - and was later sent off - for the Reds.

Will Marcelo Bielsa's side be able to spring a shock at Anfield, where the hosts are unbeaten in their last 59 fixtures dating back to April 2017?

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace captain Scott Dann: "We finished last season on the wrong foot. We’ve been working in pre season to make sure we start in a different manner. The performance and points were very important going forward.

"It was a good defensive performance from the front all the way through. Our keeper made good saves at important times. We scored a great goal and perhaps could have killed it off.

"Cheikhou Kouyate is a top player and he showed what he is capable of in the back four.

"After lockdown last season Southampton picked up really well, had a lot of energy and pressed from the front and we felt we could capitalise on that.

"We’ve had a decent defensive record in recent seasons but maybe not scored enough goals to get us further up the league but we have more options now and hopefully they can fire us like today."

In between the build-up to the Liverpool-Leeds game, there will also be reaction from Crystal Palace's win over Southampton.

Up first, Palace skipper Scott Dann...

Leeds United are back on the big stage - and everyone could be forgiven for wondering what a full Anfield would be like for their meeting with Premier League champions Liverpool on their first day back.

It is the toughest of opening assignments and an early measure of what Leeds and their charismatic manager Marcelo Bielsa will face in the Premier League.

Liverpool will know the threat that always comes with facing a newly-promoted team on the first day of the new campaign.

Cheers Tom, hopefully you haven't nicked all of today's goals from me.

Next up is a rather enticing fixture on the opening day of the new Premier League season.

We'll bring you all of the reaction from Selhurst, but here to take you on through the next two Premier League matches is Shamoon Hafez.

Palace hang on to win it!

And that wastefullness from Zaha is nearly punished! Saints go down the other end and Danny Ings thumps in a header which is again well kept out by Vicente Guaita!

Well that was brilliant and then ridiculous from Wilf Zaha!

On the break, he squares up Jack Stephens on the halfway line and absolutely toasts him for pace.

He should score but lashes the shot into the side-netting.

Southampton haven't made the runs or created the options.

Crystal Palace are tired but they know the finishing line is in sight and they are quite comfortable seeing out this game.

Wifried Zaha is absolutely shattered. They could drop off and sit back but they're winning the ball back and killing time. It feels so good as a player, these moments, because you feel so confident.

Not THAT Mr.T: First example there of play being allowed to go and then flagged after the balls in the net. That's the right way to do it for consistency, otherwise teams are robbed of the CHANCE to score because of a Lino's mistake. Its progress.

Southampton are caught on the ball in defence and it's so nearly costly, Ebe Eze is in on the left but his cross goes out for a corner.

SIX added on though...

We are into the last minute. Southampton set to go home with 72% possession and 0 points.

Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze becomes the second Premier League player that has a palindrome for a last name. He joins Sheyi Ojo (8 matches for Liverpool) in this respect.

Lovely update.
