Liverpool vs. Southampton predicted lineups

Jurgen Klopp will make his Premier League Anfield league bow on Sunday as Liverpool welcome Southampton in the final game this weekend. He will be hoping to give the fans something to cheer after a disappointing home debut in Thursday’s Europa League fixture against Rubin Kazan.

The Reds have drawn the first two games of the Klopp era and will be looking to grab their first win at home since beating Aston Villa 3-2 in September.

Meanwhile, Southampton squandered a two goal advantage last week to draw 2-2 against Leicester City, which halted a run of three straight wins in all competitions.

The Saints are level on points with Liverpool after nine games but are two places above their hosts due to a superior goal difference.

Manager Ronald Koeman will be hoping his side can replicate their impressive showing against Chelsea in their last away game and dismantle a fragile Liverpool defense come Sunday.

KEY STAT – Liverpool have won the last three meetings between the sides.

Klopp will have to make do without the services of Danny Ings (knee), Jordan Henderson (metatarsal fracture), Jon Flanagan (knee) and Joe Gomez (ACL). Daniel Sturridge is a doubt but Christian Benteke should be back in the starting XI for this one.

Shane Long (foot), Maarten Stekelenburg (back) and Fraser Forster (knee) are the major injury worries for Southampton but they have Saido Mane, and if fit, will be their key man to watch in this fixture.
