Southampton vs Liverpool: Confirmed lineups as Minamino starts for Reds

The two Premier League sides have announced their official lineups for the game.

Liverpool will take on Southampton as they try to keep their title hopes alive.

The Reds will play with nine changes compared to the lineup that defeated Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Sunday.

Konate remains in Liverpool’s lineup to play alongside Tsimikas, Matip and Gomez in the Reds’ four-man backline.

Jones, Milner and Elliot form the guests’ midfield, while Jota, Fermion and Minamino are Jurgen Klopp’s picks to replace his usual front three.

Southampton: McCarthy, Stephens, Lyanco, Salisu, Walker-Peters, Ward-Prowse, Diallo, Tella, Redmond, Elyounoussi, Broja.

Liverpool: Alisson, Gomez, Matip, Konate, Tsimikas, Jones, Milner, Elliott, Minamino, Firmino, Jota.

Let’s see if Klopp’s side can close the gap to Man City one point ahead of the league’s final matchday.
