This isn't the best game I've seen to be honest.

So here's a stat - Southampton are looking to win five consecutive top-flight matches against an opponent for the first time since a run of five against West Ham between 1988 and 1992.

Jack Grealish and Bertrand Traore have both been caught offside as Villa attempt to go long in the last few minutes.

Corner to Southampton, which Danny Ings flicks on but Villa clear.

The Saints have had four shots to Villa's one so far, none on target though.

I feel like you're just texting and tweeting in any old names now. You can stop.

Although Peter Rhoades-Brown is an Oxford legend to be fair.

Andy McCormac: Double barrelled footballers. Forbes Phillipson-Masters.

Dan: When I was a kid, there was one. Peter Rhoades-Brown who played for Chelsea and Oxford.

Sam: Fulham also have a bunch of regulars whose names start with the same letter... Areola, Aina Andersen, Adarabioyo, Anguissa. Is this more than any other club?

I know a football journalist shouldn't admit this - and I've literally written explainer articles on the handball law before - but I'm not really sure at times what's going on.

Arjun Singh: Wow. Can I join the ranks of those who say, “I don’t know the handball rule anymore”? That looked like a handball every day of the week.

Chris Clee: Someone gone and changed the handball rule again?! Robbed.

Jack Grealish lifts in a free-kick for Villa which Ezri Konsa heads across goal but Alex McCarthy can catch.

Mr E: RE 2001 Fulham have 3, 4 if you count Bobby Decordova-Reid

Joe: Re Jeffrey at 20:01. Fulham have Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Bobby Decordova-Reid and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa.

File that one down as a great Matty Cash block then since it possibly saved Aston Villa from going behind.

Rob Millward: WHAT ON EARTH! How is that NOT a penalty? The inconsistency is astounding!

It's not a penalty, say the VAR lads.

Did the ball hit Matty Cash's leg before his arm? Did they deem his arm wasn't in an unnatural position? Who knows.

Southampton 0-0 Aston Villa

It was blocked by Matty Cash's arm. VAR are checking this but I'd say it's likely to be given.

Southampton are close this time - and they call for a penalty.

Danny Ing flicks the ball past a defender, brilliant play. He pulls it back to Stuart Astrmong whose shot is blocked by Matty Cash.

First chance of the game as VIlla's Ollie Watkins lays the ball off to Ross Barkley. Barkley feeds the ball into the striker but he shoots just wide of the far post.

Jack Grealish plays one-twos with three team-mates and gets fouled.

Grealish has lost all six games he has played against Southampton.

I should tell you that you could be watching some live football on this website right now.
