Team News
The trio of Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Arthur, and Naby Keita remain in Liverpool’s medical room, although Joel Matip has returned to training and has a limited chance of playing.
On the plus side, James Milner is likely to return from concussion protocol, increasing Klopp‘s alternatives in the engine room, and the Reds manager was not afraid to start Stefan Bajcetic, Calvin Ramsay, Melkamu Frauendorf, and Layton Stewart in the EFL Cup.
Meanwhile, Jones preferred a three-man back-line during his final season in control of Luton Town, and given the injuries to Valentino Livramento and Kyle Walker-Peters, he may continue with it here.
Juan Larios started at right-back against Newcastle before departing in the first half with an adductor injury, but there are no new concerns following Wednesday’s EFL Cup victory.
In midweek, stand-in manager Ruben Selles allowed Sekou Mara and Sam Edozie chances to perform, but Jones should trust Che Adams and Mohamed Elyounoussi at Anfield.
Liverpool possible starting lineup;
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Salah, Fabinho, Thiago, Elliott, Nunez, Firmino
Southampton possible starting lineup;
Bazunu, Lyanco, Bella-Kotchap, Salisu, Elyounoussi, Ward-Prowse, Lavia, S. Armstrong, Perraud, Aribo, Adams

Liverpool vs Southampton Prediction
