Jurgen Klopp also makes a load of changes. Only Alisson and Ibrahima Konate remain in the starting XI from the team that lined up against Chelsea for the FA Cup ...

84 mins: Close! Liverpool win a corner that Tsimikas curls into the box. Liverpool fought back from a goal down to claim all three points thanks to goals from Takumi Minamino and Joel Matip. 90+3 mins: Southampton send men forward and swing crosses into the box that Liverpool head clear. Manchester City are in the driving seat and know that a victory over Aston Villa will be enough to see them lift the title. It is special and that starts right from the top with the manager.” Liverpool midfielder James Milner spoke to Sky Sports after the game and said: “The guys are incredible.

Southampton 1 Liverpool 1 (Minamino). 8:11PM. 23 min Southampton 1 Liverpool 0. Liverpool are suffering from a lack of width so far, says our colleague ...

Fabinho is out for Liverpool until the Champions League Final, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah will not be risked until Sunday, if even then, and Klopp is sure to rest key players, hinting at up to seven changes, including both full-backs, Jordan Henderson, Thiago and at least two of the three forward positions. Southampton, who have won one, drawn two and lost seven of their last 10 games, have finally exploded the notion that their manager, Ralph Hasenhuttl, is fireproof. After the players take a knee, Southampton kick off, attacking from right to left. Lose here and City will win their fourth Premier League title in five years and sixth in the past decade. Liverpool keep probing, hogging possession, but kept at arm's length. Liverpool want a penalty but have to settle for a corner. 1 min Southampton 0 Liverpool 0 Redmond did brilliantly thereon, though, haring up the touchline, before cutting in and bending a right-foot shot, Thierry Henry style, into the top right.

Southampton scramble it away. How can that be right?

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.
