🗞️ Team News: Southampton
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just one fitness concern for the Southampton manager Rubén Sellés to contend with due to a largely intact squad. Juan Larios (Unknown Injury) is out of contention.
It looks as if The Saints will possibly employ a 4-4-2 system in the match featuring Alex McCarthy, James Bree, Jan Bednarek, Lyanco, Kyle Walker-Peters, Theo Walcott, James Ward-Prowse, Romeo Lavia, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Carlos Alcaraz and Kamaldeen Sulemana.
📰 Team News: Liverpool
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has to choose a team with limited availability. Darwin Núñez (Toe Injury), Calvin Ramsay (Knee Surgery) and Stefan Bajcetic (Tear in the abductor muscle) miss out here.
We reckon that The Reds might begin the game with a 4-3-3 system, starting Caoimhin Kelleher, T. Alexander-Arnold, Joseph Gomez, Joel Matip, K. Tsimikas, James Milner, Fabinho, Curtis Jones, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota.
💭 Prediction
We envisage that Liverpool have the ability to create a good amount of chances and successful shots on target.
In contrast, Southampton will be up against it to score but we think it’s quite likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here.
We’re predicting a fairly comfortable 1-3 margin for Liverpool at full-time.
