Chance!

Saints are dicing with danger. Dominic Solanke is finding space way to easily. He charges forward, takes the ball back off Ryan Christie in the box, but then fires an effort over.

Everton keep up the pressure with some confident, tidy passing around the Newcastle box. The visitors keep their shape well to prevent the Toffees from having a shooting opportunity.

The Manchester United ownership saga will take a significant step forward tomorrow with what is expected to be the final bid deadline.

It is understood the deadline is 22:00 BST, after which the Glazer family will assess their position. There has been plenty of criticism for the Raine Group at the way they have handled the process.

Despite suggestions of multiple bidders, Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS remain the only known realistic bidders for the club set to meet the deadline.

Finnish businessman Thomas Zilliacus says he has lodged bids previously but will not submit a fresh offer.

My word, the weather is grim here. Absolutely belting down.

Dominic Solanke continues to find space in the Saints half.

He cuts in from the left and sends a low ball to Philip Billing on the edge of the box. The midfielder gets right under his effort, though, and sends the ball waaaaay over the bar.

That feels a bit harsh Johnny, Everton are not playing anything like a side that hasn't won in their past five games.

Crucial night for both, but it's certainly not been cagey.

Very watchable stuff so far.

Oh, close!

With the rain pouring down, Theo Walcott rises in the box to meet a cross from the right and loops a header against the bar before it bounces over and behind.

Shades of the Tottenham game when Michael Keane stepped up with the ball from the back and approached the opposition penalty area there.

He smashed one into the top corner in the final minute on that occasion. This time he gave it away.

Jordan Pickford has to be alert to prevent James Tarkowski stabbing a cross behind for a Newcastle corner. That's about the only thing Pickford has had to do after a quiet start by the visitors.

That disallowed goal is a shot across the Saints bow. They can't allow Dominic Solanke those kind of runs in behind their defence. Had he timed his run a little better they would be behind.

Southampton 0-0 Bournemouth

It is a pretty quick and straightforward check. Dominic Solanke is indeed offside when he receives a pass to send him clear for the initial shot.

Matias Vina's finish is a fine one, but it will not stand.

Great work from Alex Iwobi as a stray Newcastle pass goes to him and he charges forward, skipping Matt Targett's challenge before fizzing the ball into the box but again it is just over his team-mates' heads.

Encouraging stuff for the host though as they look lively while Newcastle haven't been at their best in possession.

Matias Vina fires the ball into the net on the follow up after Dominic Solanke's effort is blocked, but the flag goes up straight away.

VAR will decide if this is overturned...

There's just signs Newcastle are starting to settle now after having to deal with Everton's enthusiastic start. They work the ball forward well, moving from right to left before Joelinton's low ball into the box is stabbed away.

Marcus Tavernier looks a real handful. He has been the liveliest Cherries player so far, driving forward at pace on the right.
