Liverpool will host Southampton following a penalty shootout win over Derby County in the Carabao Cup.

The Merseysiders will be attempting four wins in a row against Ralph Hasenhuttl’s former team at Anfield.

We will support Jurgen Klopp to restore Alisson Becker to the No. 1 spot behind a back line of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson.

In the middle of the park, the German tactician is likely to select Fabinho with the Brazilian set to continue his upward trajectory before joining Tite’s men in Doha.

Harvey Elliott and Thiago Alcantara should complete the midfield trio as we stick to 4-3-3.

Up front, Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and Bobby Firmino should form a three-man front line.
