3pm: West Bromwich Albion v Southampton

West Bromwich Albion and Southampton will be looking for an upturn in fortunes for their opening match at The Hawthorns.

West Bromwich Albion signings: Nicolas Anelka (Unattached), Goran Popov (Dynamo Kiev), Diego Lugano (Paris St Germain), Matej Vydra (Udinese).

Southampton signings: Dejan Lovren (Lyon), Victor Wanyama (Celtic).

Key stat: Southampton’s Morgan Schneiderlin made more tackles (146) and interceptions (139) than any other Premier League player in 2012-13.
