Southampton take on West Brom in the Premier League’s late kick-off.

Maurcio Pellegrino’s side have only won once at home all season and sit just one point above the Premier League’s drop zone as it stands.

West Brom have made a slightly better start to the season but will be leapfrogged by Southampton if they lost at St Mary’s this evening.

Follow live coverage below.

Southampton v West Brom

Southampton: Forster, Cedric, Yoshida, van Dijk, Bertrand, Lemina, Romeu, Long, Davis, Tadic, Gabbiadini. Subs: Hoedt, Austin, McCarthy, Ward-Prowse, Boufal, Redmond, McQueen.

West Brom: Foster, Dawson, Hegazi, Evans, Gibbs, Livermore, Krychowiak, Barry, Rodriguez, Rondon, Chadli. Subs: Nyom, Yacob, Phillips, Brunt, Myhill, McClean, McAuley.

Referee: Graham Scott (Oxfordshire)

Southampton have no new injury concerns ahead of the visit of West Brom.

Manolo Gabbiadini should start, having scored twice on his return against Newcastle, but Jeremy Pied remains out.

Both Ben Foster and Boaz Myhill are injury doubts for West Brom.

James Morrison, Oliver Burke and Hal Robson-Kanu are still sidelined.

1' - We are underway on the South Coast.

2' - Southampton's Dusan Tadic threatens early on down the left wing, beating a couple of players before delivering a lofted cross which is cleared away by Nacer Chadli.

3' - Decent effort! Gareth Barry lets fly from distance with his weaker right foot and the ball ripples the side netting. Ben Foster was worried there.

9' - It's been a rather cagey start at St Mary's. Neither side yet to really trouble the opposition goalkeeper. Perhaps to be expected from two teams that have won just one game out of their last 10 between them.

14' - Mario Lemina tries his luck from distance but the Southampton midfielder's effort flies way off target. That shot just about sums up the opening quarter-of-an-hour of this match.

15' - Ryan Bertrand sends a decent cross in towards the far post where Shane Long and Manolo Gabbiadini are waiting but West Brom manage to clear their lines.

17' - Off the bar! Jake Livermore brings Shane Long down just outside the penalty area and West Brom are awarded a free-kick in a very threatening position. Ryan Bertrand takes it and the ball hits Ben Foster's crossbar via a deflection off Jonny Evans' head.
