Southampton V Liverpool Team News
- Southampton have had 10 days to prepare for the welcome of Liverpool on Tuesday night.
- Alex McCarthy was back on the bench last time out and could make his first league appearance since December as Fraser Forster only returned to training on Monday.
- Stuart Armstrong is also a doubt for Southampton’s final home game of the season.
- Look for Oriol Romeu to come back into the starting XI after dropping to the bench in defeat to Brentford last time out.
- Che Adams was an unused substitute in defeat to Brentford and will push for a recall up top.
- Liverpool’s FA Cup final win over Chelsea came at a cost with Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk coming off injured. Neither are expected to play here.
- After Manchester City’s slip-up on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp has a massive decision to make here. He should really rotate given the tight turnaround but he will now be tempted to go full strength.
- Fabinho travelled with the Liverpool team to Wembley but won’t be risked here with the Champions League around the corner.
- Youngsters Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott will hope for game time on Tuesday.
Our prediction:
Southampton won 1-0 the last time they hosted Liverpool at St.Mary’s Stadium. However, they are just not in any sort of form to follow that up with a positive result here.
We are tipping Liverpool to win by one goal to nil.
