Liverpool are currently on a 12 game unbeaten run in all competitions and with the international break over, they’ll look to continue that run when they make the trip to Southampton.
The Reds lost 3-2 in the same fixture last year with the Saints coming back from 2-0 down thanks to goals from Graziano Pelle and Sadio Mane.
Liverpool will be grateful to have Mane on their side now, as well as other former Southampton players Dejan Lovren and Nathaniel Clyne. The fourth member of Liverpool’s ex-Saints quarter, Adam Lallana, looks like he’ll miss the game after picking up an injury whilst playing for England in midweek.
Thankfully, that was the only injury suffered by the Reds who were on international duty. Brazilian duo Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho flew back early from South America on a specially chartered flight, so both will be available for selection.
With all that in mind, here’s the team I think will start at St. Mary’s this weekend:
