Southampton vs Liverpool Match Preview and Team News
Southampton
Liverpool’s chase for a quadruple is still on. After winning their second piece of silverware, they aren’t in pole position for the Premier League title, but they remain on course as contenders. Liverpool travels to Southampton on Match Day 37, starting the game in second place with 86 points while Southampton has 40 points in 15th place. Southampton needs one point from their remaining two matches to confirm survival, but their recent form hasn’t been inspiring enough. They are on four winless outings, three of them defeats, and in each, they’ve conceded two or more goals. Each of their last three matches has produced over 2.5 goals, and their only clean sheet came in the shock 1-0 win over Arsenal. James Ward-Prowse plays well in the middle of the park, and he does not allow the opponent much action. Armando Broja is a great player, he creates a lot of problems for his opponents, and the greatest virtue of this guy is speed. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the coach for the starting lineup.
Liverpool
As Liverpool chases two more titles, the biggest of the four targeted, they have massive injury worries to think of. Their win over Chelsea in the FA Cup final came at a cost as Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah picked injuries and had to be withdrawn. They join Fabinho, who is also on the sidelines with injury, and this is a major worry for Jurgen Klopp. The German coach will not be really worried about this game, but the future, as he targets the Champions League title. He will definitely have good replacements for the three as Liverpool look to extend their 16-game undefeated run. They’ve, however, managed two clean sheets only in their last five matches, and with a weaker defense, Southampton may just find space. Naby Keita has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable. From a largely healthy group of players, there’s just the sole fitness issue for the Liverpool gaffer Jürgen Klopp to be concerned with. Fabinho (Thigh Problems) won’t be in action.
