    Jurgen Klopp on today's opponents Southampton: "[Southampton] are a top seven team, maybe not in the form table but they have quality through the line-up. Hopefully not today, but this might be more difficult than against City or Tottenham, because they play a lot of football in the middle of the park."
  • PRVW
    So, Jordan Henderson is rested by Jurgen Klopp ahead of the midweek Champions League clash with Porto, whilst Joel Matip and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain come in for Dejan Lovren and James Milner. Southampton make just the one change, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg coming in for the enigmatic Sofiane Boufal.
