Southampton vs Liverpool preview

It will have to be something pretty special for Southampton to deny Liverpool a place in the Carabao Cup semi-final draw.

Saints are rock-bottom of the Premier League with five points and just one win in 16 matches, scoring the fewest goals of any side (11).

They are also without a manager having sacked Russell Martin over the weekend, leaving Under-21s manager Simon Rusk in charge for Liverpool’s visit.

The pair met just 24 days ago with Liverpool running out 3-2 winners in an unexpectedly tight affair, but a similar showing looks unlikely given the form of Arne Slot’s side.

Yes, Liverpool dropped points against Fulham over the weekend, but it was actually one of their most impressive shifts of the season to draw 2-2 with Fulham.

With a full compliment of players on the pitch and a chance to extend their position as the most successful club in the League Cup’s history (10 titles) – the reigning Carabao Cup champions should make light work of their opponents.

Away goals

Arne Slot is suspended from the touchline having picked up three yellow cards this season, but that shouldn’t stop Liverpool from scoring a handful.

Saints have conceded FIVE in each of their last two home games against Chelsea and Tottenham with EIGHT scored inside the first 45 minutes. Liverpool, meanwhile, have netted 3+ goals in three of their last four games on the road.

Cup Cody

He’s the man for a cup competition, there’s no doubting that.

Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo has scored nine goals in 23 appearances this season with SIX of those arriving in the Champions League and Carabao Cup. He also netted four goals in six Carabao Cup appearances last season when Liverpool went the distance.
