Five things to look out for when the Reds face Southampton

Liverpool fans had plenty of reasons to be happy during the most recent international break.

Whether it be young defender Joe Gomez keeping Neymar quiet at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday night, or Emre Can reportedly telling the club hierarchy that he will sign a new contract and reject any interest from Juventus and Manchester City.

But now the international break is over, and Premier League football returns once more this weekend with the Reds taking on Southampton at Anfield.

With Jurgen Klopp falling ill and failing to attend training on Wednesday, he will be hoping that none of his squad will suffer the same circumstances before Saturday’s fixture!

The additional caveat of the Saints travelling to the north-west is in the form of Virgil van Dijk.

The want-away Saints captain was the subject of repeated interest from Liverpool in the summer, so it will be interesting to see how he fares against the club he tried to force a move to.

Here are five things to look forward to in this clash.
