The teams are coming out onto the field and kick-off is just moments away.
Plenty for Hasenhuttl to think about at the break. However, it is worth noting that Bournemouth were leading at half-time when the two sides met here last season, only for Southampton to come back and draw.
Eddie Howe's side will be looking to build on this result when they host West Ham United at the Vitality Stadium next weekend. Meanwhile, Southampton travel to White Hart Lane to face Tottenham Hotspur.
That's all for today. Thank you for following our live coverage. Until next time, goodbye!
