Let the games commence.

A jaunty version of 'When The Saints Go Marching In' - all brass horns and groovy drum beat - rings around St Mary's as the players gather in the tunnel.

Oriol Romeu, Saints' skipper for the day, is greeted by fellow Spaniard Rodrigo, who again plays up top for Leeds with Patrick Bamford still sidelined.

When you look at Brighton's style they like to play possession football and create chances, their conversion rates have gone through the roof. Their expected goals is now similar to created and taken.

But at this stage last year they had conceded 14 and this year they've conceded five. If you improve at both ends then you will improve your points tally - they look a good side this season.

Leicester have conceded a lot of goals this season, Jonny Evans will add solidity. Hopefully we see goals, obviously Ronaldo is playing and Vardy has been a shining light. I'm looking forward to this.

We can guess what Armando Broja's dreams last night were broadly about: ending a productive week by scoring his first Premier League goal today and helping Southampton earn a win.

The Saints striker starts for the first time in the top-flight since joining on loan from Chelsea, fresh from netting a brilliant winner for Albania in their World Cup qualifier against Hungary last weekend.

Leeds United

When Marcelo Bielsa arrived at Leeds United, many wondered how long he'd last in West Yorkshire after brief spells at Lazio and Lille.

Few would have predicted it would end up being his longest job in club management and today he is taking charge of the Whites for the 150th game.

"Our challenge is to overcome Southampton and what happened 15 days ago, although has weight, is history," says the Argentine, whose side earned their first league win of the season against Watford before the international break.

"For me it is a pleasure to work here. I receive from Leeds United all the facilities I need. Always we try to evolve, sometimes we manage to achieve it, sometimes we don't."

Pep Guardiola has always had a squad that will keep their head down and work hard and wait their turn when they're not in the squad. Look at Riyad Mahrez, he had to wait his turn. John Stones who had a great season last season yet has had to wait until today to start a game.

Raheem Sterling has gone the other way and decided to come out and publicly say how disappointing it is to not be playing consistently over the last few seasons. He'll probably be playing through the centre of the strike force today - so it's time to show what you can do.

Burnley's centre-backs were practising their long clearances (or passes forward, depending on how you look at it) just before they finished warming up - history suggests they might be rather busy today. Here’s a quick guide to how long the Clarets have held out for at Etihad Stadium in their four previous 5-0 defeats, and the score at half-time.

• 2020-21 PL: 0-0 for 5 mins and HT 3-0
• 2019-20 PL: 0-0 for 21 mins and HT 3-0
• 2018-19 FA Cup: 0-0 for 22 mins and HT 1-0
• 2018-19 PL: 0-0 for 26 mins and HT 1-0

So, don’t be surprised if Sean Dyche breaks open a bottle of bubbly in the technical area if the game is goalless after half an hour.

Mind you, when they came here in the FA Cup in 2017-18, Burnley led 1-0 at half-time… but lost 4-1.

We can talk about the pressure of being the Manchester United manager but in our lifetime we have seen them dominate the Premier League so they should be part of this conversation of who is going to win the title.

It doesn’t feel to me like you should be United manager if you can’t talk about the possibility of trophies and especially not when you’re bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best players to ever play the game. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - cards on the table, success this year or ultimately you’ve failed.

We are talking about international footballers over the pitch, they should be able to communicate with each other. That is how you become a better team, and if you are going to challenge those teams at the top, you have to be committed in every sense.

You would expect the difficult run to be this one for Manchester United - Leicester, Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City and Atalanta twice in the Champions League.

If they come through this period in a positive way with good results then they can go on to have a good season - but this is a season defining run for United and will determine how well they finish the season.

Hmmm.

United flew the 100 miles to Leicester, by the way. Yes, on a plane.

They were in the air for 10 minutes apparently.

The club defended the decision as plans changed due to "circumstances".

The big screens at The King Power Stadium have just shown Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in his goal-poaching heyday banging in a couple of goals against Leicester City at Filbert Street.

Not quite the baby-faced assassin these days, he will be hoping United's strikers follow his example here today.

No team in English football history (kids, remember that's since 1871, NOT 1992) has ever won five home games in a row against the same opposition by a five goal margin, but that is the record in Manchester City’s sights today.

City are practicing their shooting at the moment - Raheem Sterling has just blasted one home from the edge of the area in impressive style - but it is the rare sight (this season) of Riyad Mahrez in their starting line-up that might give Burnley most cause for concern.

The Algerian, who is making only his second league start of the campaign, has scored seven goals in five league games for City against Burnley, and eight in total against the Clarets if you include his time at Leicester. Maybe Burnley switching to their new third kit for the first time will confuse him later?

Over 70% possession, Claudio Ranieri hasn't helped with the work he's done with the team, even though there are players on international duty. Liverpool were irresistible today. That pass from Mo Salah to Sadio Mane was out of this world. We are seeing Salah at Lionel Messi level.

Those goals will help Firmino as well - everyone is chipping in now and this is Liverpool at full speed.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to BT Sport: "It was good! I cannot say differently. After international break it is hard to find the rhythm after playing different systems, but the boys were so good despite only having one session before today. I think Watford had ideas, but we didn't let them play. The goals were really brilliant, there was great attitude, energy and character."

On Mohamed Salah: "His performance was massive today. The pass for the first goal was great and the second goal was special. He is top. We all see it. Who is better than him? We don't have to talk about what Messi and Ronaldo have done for world football and their dominance. But right now, he is the best."
