Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Aston Villa and Southampton, kick off at 3pm UK time.

Shaw bombs down the left flank... He plays it across goal to where Lallana lurks but the midfielder fluffs his effort. To be fair, it was slightly behind him.

Another Lallana stat for you all to enjoy.

Lovren gives Weimann a naughty shove. Scrappy start to this second-half.

El Ahmadi's cross is deflected... Onto the roof of the net.

The chance arose after Artur Boruc's clearance barely rose above waist-height.

El Ahmadi feigns to shoot, darts inside and has a crack... Very, very tame.

Only three goals in the four Premier League 3pm kick-offs. Not ideal.

Albrighton weaves into the penalty area and goes to ground... He's quickly back on his feet. Doesn't even both appealing.

The second-half is alive and well.

Half-time at Villa Park. Goalless at the break.

Albrighton swings a delightful ball into the penalty area... Delph can't connect properly at the back post.

CLOSE! Bertrand's cross is palmed against the leg of Lovren and squirms wide. Southampton escape.

Lallana flings himself theatrically to the floor deep inside the Villa half. No free-kick.

Lambert attempts an audacious dink on the edge of the penalty area but it doesn’t come off.

Shaw tries to feed Lallana down the left but it's overhit and Guzan gathers.

Just caught a glance of Steve Bruce and David Moyes sitting side-by-side in the stands. Phil Neville also in attendance looking thoroughly miserable. Can’t blame him.

Agbonlahor is in acres of space through the middle! The reason? He was offside.

Bertrand wins a corner. Unsurprisingly, it comes to nothing.

The home crowd are unnervingly quiet. No cheers. No chants. No boos. Nothing.

Ryan Bertrand pings the free-kick into the penalty area... And out of the penalty area. No one attacked it. Woeful.

A flailing arm from Victor Wanyama catches El Ahmadi in the face. Free-kick, but no card from Lee Mason. Probably the correct decision.
