Southampton team news

Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale could be in line for a start here, with defender Jan Bednarek also in contention after recovering from a knee injury, while fellow defender Jack Stephens will serve the final game of his three-match ban.

Southampton interim Simon Rusk would not look to make many changes to the XI from Martin's previous selection.

Liverpool team news

Andrew Robertson is suspended after his red card in the Fulham draw, but Alexis Mac Allister is back from his own ban.

The likes of Alisson Becker and Mohamed Salah could be rested for the tie, while Diogo Jota is unlikely to be risked by Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley and Kostas Tsimikas are ruled out through injury.

Meanwhile, Joe Gomez and Jarell Quansah may earn starts at the back.
