Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is keen to head into the World Cup on a high after winning against Tottenham last time out in the league. The Reds face Southampton at Anfield this afternoon who will have a new manager in the dugout.

Alisson will start in goal, after he was rested for the Carabao Cup tie against Derby County, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson are expected to line up in the two fullback positions.

Ibrahima Konate has seemingly established himself as Virgil van Dijk’s first-choice center-back partner after recent performances, so the pair will likely start versus the Saints.

In midfield, Harvey Elliott could be selected alongside Fabinho and Thiago once again, with captain Jordan Henderson and James Milner being named on the bench.

Roberto Firmino has struggled to make an impact in recent matches so he may drop out in favour of Curtis Jones, allowing Darwin Nunez to play more centrally, with Mo Salah on the right flank.

Liverpool’s Predicted XI To Face Southampton:

Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Elliott, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah, Nunez, Jones
