Liverpool v Southampton Team News

Jurgen Klopp must try and reverse his poor record versus Southampton as there is no other side he has faced more in the PL without winning, drawing 3 and losing 1 of his 4 matches against them, with The Saints also knocking The Reds out of the League Cup last season with a 2-0 aggregate victory in the semi-finals.

It is no secret that Liverpool defend likes strangers at times, shipping 17 goals in their 11 PL matches this season, but they have surprisingly managed to keep a clean sheet in 6 of their last 7 home games in the competition.

Sadio Mane was sent home from international duty this week after being left out of Senegal’s final World Cup qualifier against South Africa with a reported recurrence of an old hamstring injury and is therefore a major doubt to face his former club.

If they avoid defeat in this match, Mauricio Pellegrino’s side can make it 6 consecutive games without a loss against Liverpool for the first time in their history, having won 3 and drawn 2 of the last 5 meetings in all competitions.

Liverpool: Mignolet - Moreno, Lovren, Matip, Gomez - Wijnaldum, Henderson, Can - Coutinho, Firmino, Salah (4-3-3 formation)
