If a positive display is usually cause for optimism, that wasn't the case for Southampton's opening day defeat. Playing against 10 men for more than an hour, Russell Martin's men wasted no opportunity to neutralize their advantage. Ben Brereton Diaz missed a pair of sitters, Alex McCarthy teed up Newcastle's goal with a careless pass, and that was that.
The Forest faithful weren't much happier after seeing their team squander a lead late on for the umpteenth time. Despite the shock of Danilo's injury Nuno Espirito Santo's men dominated their opponents, with Morgan Gibbs-White combining brilliantly with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga before the inevitable last-gasp retreat.
Line-ups:
Southampton team: McCarthy, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens, Sugawara, Smallbone, Downes, Aribo, Walker-Peters, Armstrong, Brereton Diaz
Nottm Forest team: Sels, Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Aina, Sangare, Anderson, Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Wood
With both teams likely to be scrapping at the foot of the table come the end of the season, today's game is an early six-pointer. Tune in, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.

Can you watch Southampton vs Nottm Forest in the U.K.?
Unfortunately, there will be no Southampton vs Nottm Forest live stream in the U.K.. That's because broadcasters are blocked from airing Saturday 3 p.m. kick-offs, to protect attendances elsewhere in the football pyramid.
