(The Guardian) Preamble--The team with the sixth-best home record plays the side with the 11th-best away results: this should be pretty one-sided. But Southampton are without goalkeeper Alex McCarthy after a positive Covid test, Danny Ings has only scored once in the last two months and Che Adams is, according to Ralph Hasenhuttl, “a little bit tired I think at the moment”. Meanwhile Liverpool might be able to call on Thiago for what would be just a second start this season. “We will see,” said Jürgen Klopp. “He has a chance. Honestly, the boys who did the job so far did exceptionally well so it is not we cannot survive if he does not start the next game but it is very good he is now fit and is obviously in contention. I like that a lot.” The last six league games between these teams have featured 19 goals, and I like that a lot. Liverpool, notably, have won them all.

So Southampton bring in Fraser Forster in goal, with Diallo and Armstrong also coming in while McCarthy, Romeu and Adams drop out (not just out of the team, but the entire matchday squad). Liverpool also make three changes, with Thiago, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wijnaldum in and Jones, Milner and Phillips dropped to the bench. Jordan Henderson partners Fabinho in central defence.

(The Guardian) Ralph Hasenhüttl has a chat with Sky, first about Fraser Forster: He developed his game massively with Andrew. All the goalkeepers made a good step forward. They are very oftne part of our sessions also. You can see he never stopped learning and now is the chance for him to play.Then about the absence of Che Adams and Oriol Romeu: Both have injury problems. I think Che everybody saw in the last game a horrible kick in the head, he had concussion. Oriol had problems with his calf in the session and it’s not wise to take a risk, it’s more important to have him in the next weeks.And finally about the prospect of facing a Fabinho-Henderson backline: Both still are fantastic footballers, and I know they are tactical on the highest level so it’s not difficult for them to defend as a centre-back, and when you see Thiago plays, it’s definitely a team with very good players in every position. You don’t see a lot of weaknesses in this team.

...and right off the bat.... (The Guardian) GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Liverpool (Ings, 2 mins)A lovely free-kick delivery, a lovely finish, and an instant breakthrough for Southampton! 3 mins: It’s a free-kick from just beyond the centre circle, which Ward-Prowse chips over the defence for Ings to run onto, and he brilliantly lifts it first-time over Alisson and in! 4 mins: Thiago, who gave away the free-kick, has now been booked.

(The Guardian) 7 mins: Walcott is playing very centrally, lurking on the shoulder of Liverpool’s makeshift backline, and generally promising to cause trouble. Already Ings has only just managed to release him with a first-time ball over the top.
11 mins: Salah spins nicely on the edge of the area, but then has the ball stolen off his toes.

(The Guardian) 12 mins: Then Alexander-Arnold sends in a fine cross to the far post, and Walker-Peters dives ahead of Mane to deny Liverpool a near-certain equaliser.

(The Guardian) 13 mins: Liverpool win a corner, and Wijnaldum wins the header, but its path to goal is blocked by Stephens and Southampton clear.

(The Guardian) 14 mins: A beautiful little dribble from Mane on Liverpool’s left. It doesn’t lead to anything, but it was 10 seconds of pure pleasure.

(The Guardian) 15 mins: Robertson flicks out a foot at Armstrong. There’s little or no contact, but it looks petulant to the referee, who waves a yellow card.

(The Guardian) 19 mins: Chance! Mane plays Salah through, but the Egyptian takes a heavy touch and by the time he catches up with the ball Forster is practically upon it, and the keeper gets a foot in the way. And Salah was also offside.
