    The Saints look in control, they're just pinging the ball round from right to left, left to right. But they're just one slip away from losing a lead. They need a second to be safe.

    Shane Long, Theo Walcott and Adam Armstrong are warming up for Southampton. There is some intent in that from Ralph Hasenhuttl which will be worrying for Norwich.

    Good play by Kyle Walker-Peters on the left to get into the box but he has two crosses blocked and then commits a foul himself.

    Southampton 1-0 Norwich

    Teemu Pukki has been involved more in the second half than the first. His pass is cut out in the box and then he fouls Tino Livramento as the Saints defender ran forward. Booked.

    Tom: We've already lost to Norwich once this season and dominating games while conspiring to lose is our speciality.

    Back to Saints chances now though as Armando Broja cuts the ball back for Stuart Armstrong, who curls wide of the far post.

    Teemu Pukki runs down the left and crosses for Kenny McLean, who shoots miles over the bar. He didn't catch it right at all.

    When you have been out of possession as long as Norwich it is so easy for the Southampton players to get to them when they get hold of the ball because they have that bit more energy.

    Southampton clear the corner easily and attack with Norwich keeper Angus Gunn rushing out of his box to clear.

    Kenny McLean does well and wins a corner for Norwich. This is as good a chance as they'll have.

    James Ward-Prowse's corner is flicked on and Brandon Williams gets his head in the way of Che Adams to deny him a straightforward header on goal.

    Stuart Armstong glides forward but goes it alone when he should pass and just blasts it off a yellow jersey.

    Southampton get back to their corner-winning ways of the first half as Armando Broja's cross is turned over.

    Teemu Pukki had four touches in the first half. Is Romelu Lukaku's record under threat?

    The way that Southampton approached that first half was outstanding. I expect more from Norwich and they sprinted out for the second half. To be honest they could not do any worse.

    Norwich need to improve or else this is going to be defeat number 17 of the season.

    Norwich have got to throw caution to the wind. It is about staying a Premier League club. That may leave Grant Hanley and Ben Gibson a little exposed but that is a chance that they may have to take.
