Liverpool team vs Southampton predicted as Divock Origi and Naby ... (Liverpool.com)

Liverpool take on Sotuhampton in the Premier League later today. Here, three of our writers select the starting XIs we would like Jürgen Klopp to choose.

For me, this may also be the final chance for Divock Origi to seize his moment in a Liverpool shirt, and Klopp may just give him a starting berth. In midfield, it will be a very big ask for Henderson to play another game, but such is the scarcity of depth in the number six role that he may have to try. Meanwhile, Sadio Mané and Luis Díaz have both played a lot of minutes recently and I wouldn't be surprised to see Roberto Firmino coming in for one of the two. Naby Keïta, on the other hand, was taken off just after the 70-minute mark and that might have kept him fresh enough to start this game. He should be back in contention, but it might make sense to give cup hero Tsimikas the nod on this occasion. While the prognosis on Salah and Van Dijk was optimistic, it would be a shock to see either feature.

Southampton vs Liverpool LIVE updates as Man City await title fate (Manchester Evening News)

Manchester City could be crowned Premier League champions if Liverpool fail to defeat Southampton on Tuesday night.

On Tuesday, if Liverpool lose to Southampton at St Mary's, the same scenario will happen again - City will be crowned champions before they next play. "Don’t get me wrong, you would be kicking yourselves if you lost today and handed Manchester City the title tonight, then he (Klopp) may get a bit of stick for his team selection, but that is the art of football management. City learned they were champions both last season and in 2018 when Manchester United dropped points on a day Pep Guardiola's side weren't even playing. Liverpool knew the position that they were in, if they lost or drew a game, they would have felt as thought the title was over, that is how strong the two teams are at the top of the Premier League. "I don’t think there will be too many Liverpool supporters questioning Jurgen Klopp for putting that team out, with the situation of what they have been through in recent weeks. I don’t think you can get too emotional about the league, because Manchester City, nine times out of ten, will go on an beat Aston Villa on Sunday."

Liverpool XI vs Southampton: Confirmed team news, starting lineup ... (Evening Standard)

Liverpool are without Sadio Mane, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk for tonight's key Premier League trip to Southampton.

The target for both would be that they would be involved again at the weekend. Very positive, or no doubt, about the final. But that was pretty much clear before the game already, I thought this is the game [to miss] now.
