Team News

Southampton
Liverpool
  • Aaron Ramsdale is touch and go for Wednesday's welcome of Liverpool.
  • Jack Stephens and Adam Armstrong are suspended for the hosts, who are without Gavin Bazunu, Ross Stewart and Will Smallbone due to injury.
  • Andy Robertson is suspended after his red card against Fulham, and with Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley and Kosta Tsimikas absent; Arne Slot has four fit senior defenders to choose from.
  • Slot will likely ring the changes here anyway, with Federico Chiesa, Wataru Endo and Darwin Nunez set for starts.
  • Alexis Mac Allister has served a domestic ban and is available for selection.

Prediction

  • Southampton took the decision to sack Russell Martin following Sunday's 5-0 loss to Tottenham. They have won only four games all season, three of which have come in the EFL Cup.
  • Liverpool dropped further points in the Premier League title race as they were held to a 2-2 draw with Fulham. Their lead has been cut to two points, though they have a game in hand on Chelsea in second.
  • Saints are in dire straits and Liverpool should inflict further misery upon this downtrodden south coast side.
