On paper, it’s a match of extremes. And not just geographically. Since Liverpool, the leader of the north, will land in the south ofEngland
with the costume of leader of the Premier League to challenge Southampton, the red lantern of the championship. It’s not clear how these Reds can get tripped up and stop at this stage of the tournament.
Especially since Liverpool is not only the best student in England. It is also the most successful team in Europe, with a perfect record in the new Champions League formula. It remains to be seen whether a rotation will be considered by Arne Slot for this trip. This is not the trend. Mo Salah and his gang could improve their statistics.
The expected compositions
Southampton : Ramsdale—Bree, Harwood-Bellis, Sugawara, Taylor — Aribo, Fernandes, Ugochukwu — Fraser, Amstrong, Archer.
Liverpool : Kelleher — Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Norris — Mac Allister, Endo, Jones — Salah, Jota, Gakpo.
