Stuart Armstrong slides it in from the right and Che Adams is allowed to turn and shoot. It's straight at Karl Darlow.

Che Adams looks well up for this. It's pinged through to him in the box and he's falling as he tries to control the ball under pressure from Jamaal Lascelles.

Solid defending in the end. Adams gives a thumbs up. Just keep feeding him the ball!

Unbelievable finish from Che Adams - the power and the accuracy. Karl Darlow made a great save in the initial build-up but the second time he wasn't going to miss. It's a bad defensive mistake. Darlow had no chance - what a finish.

Criminal from Miguel Almiron.

It's good pressing from Theo Walcott, who hurries Jamaal Lascelles with his clearance. It comes to Che Adams in the middle and he forces a smart save from Karl Darlow.

Jamaal Lascelles goes long to Jacob Murphy but Jack Stephens gets his head on it. Both teams just feeling their way into it.

Southampton are a good team - aggressive, front-footed. Ralph Hassenhuttl has gone back to his philosophy. Yes, at times they've been done for having a high line, but that's how he wants to play. If Southampton went top that would be massive - it's points on the board, it shows where you want to be. Everyone wants to be top of the table.

James Ward-Prowse loops it over to Che Adams on the right but it's dealt with comfortably.

Kyle Walker-Peters is getting in a few early touches.

Off we go at St Mary's. It surely can't be worse than the earlier game?

Very true! A big leap up from 11th to 4th if Newcastle win.

Here come the players. The two captains will lay a wreath to honour remembrance day before we get under way.

I've refuelled with a brew and some biscuits so we're all ready to go.

One player does not make a team, but everything Saints do really does revolve around Danny Ings.

I don't think their manager, Ralph Hassenhuttl, will change his system on Friday but it will be a lot less effective without Ings because he sniffs goals out for fun.

I don't see Newcastle creating much at St Mary's, but Steve Bruce will set them up to make things difficult for Southampton and, in Callum Wilson, the Magpies have their own in-form striker who can nick them a goal.

Prediction: 1-1

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Graham Potter to BBC Sport: "You’ve got to score. That was the only thing missing from our performance. We restricted Burnley to pretty much nothing. We had chances.

"Performance-wise, I’m really happy. We’re always looking to improve. It’s disappointing to only get one point.

"The fact Danny Welbeck gets in there [to have chances] is really positive. It was a really good impact and good performance. He’ll get better and better the longer he’s with us.

"The team gave everything. We were playing a dangerous opponent but we had a good control of things. We tried our best to score.

"“Possession itself is not that important, it’s what you do with it. You’re not going to get too many chances at this level. We had enough to score."

But how much of a loss will Danny Ings be?

Southampton's tally of 13 points is their most after seven games of a season since 2014-15.
