Prediction and Preview

Liverpool 2 - 0 Southampton

Liverpool possible starting lineup:

Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Leoni, Gomez, Robertson; Nyoni, Endo; Ngumoha, Jones, Chiesa; Isak

Southampton possible starting lineup:

McCarthy; Edwards, Wood, Stephens; Roerslev, Fraser, Downes, Charles, Manning; Stewart, Archer

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has confirmed that Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah, Ryan Gravenberch, Ibrahima Konate, and Virgil van Dijk will all miss Tuesday’s match, as they have featured in every game so far and require a rest.

Highly rated teenager Trey Nyoni is in contention for a place in midfield, where he could partner Wataru Endo in a double pivot. Federico Chiesa is expected to operate on the right flank, providing width in attack.

Between the posts, Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to start, with Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni likely forming the central defensive partnership in front of him.

As for Southampton, they are expected to line up with a back three to limit Liverpool’s attacking threat, with Ronnie Edwards, Nathan Wood, and Jack Stephens all likely starters. Midfielder Flynn Downes, who missed the clash with Hull due to illness, could be brought back into the side to regain match sharpness.\
