  • 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Southampton FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Billy Sharp suffering a number of foals already.

  • 62' The deadlock is broken! Stuart Armstrong gets on the scoresheet on 62 minutes.
