Liverpool will be looking to take advantage of the little door left open by Premier League leaders Manchester City who drew their penultimate game against West Ham. Jurgen Klopp's side make the trip to St. Mary's stadium to take on Southampton, on Tuesday, knowing that anything less than a win could more or less end their title hopes.
The Citizen's 2-2 draw at the London Stadium means that Liverpool can once again go within a point to Pep Guardiola's men ahead of the final matchday of the season.
The Reds have added the FA Cup to this season's titles that include the Carabao Cup, and potentially two more titles including the Champions League wherein they face Real Madrid later this month.
