Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of already relegated Middlesbrough and Southampton. Team news to follow...

Rodriguez has the chance to seal it for Southampton but flashes his shot wide of the Boro goal.

Chambers unleashes a fierce shot at goal but Forster does well to palm the ball behind for a corner.

Four additional minutes to play at the Riverside.

Cards adding up now as De Roon is booked for a foul on Pied.

Gibson is well advanced to meet Clayton's cross but the defender heads straight at the Southampton goalkeeper.

Charlie Austin has had a long spell on the sidelines but he's back and replaces Long.

Gibson commits a foul on Long and goes into Anthony Taylor's book.

Five minutes to play, can Boro give their fans something to cheer about on their final home game of the season?

Negredo is down after taking a blow to the back of the head. He'll be fit to continue, however. The Spaniard, on loan from Valencia, is Boro's top goalscorer this season with nine goals, and they'll miss him next term.

Look at the joy on his face!

Boro fans also making plenty of noise and they deserve great credit after such a miserable season.

Fantastic support, given Southampton have little to play for.

Boro win a corner and although the visitors clear at the first time of asking, Leadbitter chips the ball back into the box but Bamford can't quite control.

Can Boro somehow, someway, find a way back into the game? They have been so lacklustre this afternoon it's untrue, but they have something to fight for now.

Claude Puel makes an immediate change with captain Steven Davis replacing Højbjerg.

Bamford, who is starting his first game since March 2016, heads in from Fischer's cross! Finally, something for the young England man and Riverside faithful to cheer.

He's been way off the pace defensively, but Fabio has at least offered something in attack this afternoon. He sends a cross to the back post for Friend but Southampton divert the ball behind.
