The starting line-ups are in from St Mary’s where Southampton welcome Premier League leaders Liverpool to kickstart Sunday’s action.
For the home side, they are forced into a change between the posts through injury, with Alex McCarthy replacing Aaron Ramsdale, who is suffering from a broken finger.
Arne Slot is also missing a key man at the back of his own with Trent Alexander-Arnold still sidelined, although Virgil van Dijk has passed a fitness test to start.
Liverpool to face Southampton: Kelleher, Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Jones, Salah, Nunez, Gakpo.
Subs: Jaros, Davies, Gomez, Endo, Diaz, Mac Allister, Elliott, Quansah, Morton.
