(The Guardian) Preamble--Having been treated to an unexpected and unwanted day off last Sunday due to the fan protests at Old Trafford and in Manchester city centre, Liverpool go into tonight’s game against Southampton seven points off a Champions League place and unable to risk dropping any more in the run-in. Following defeats for Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, their hopes of making the top four look considerably less forlorn than they did at this time 24 hours ago. In other good news for Liverpool, Chelsea are currently being held at Manchester City. Having claimed just six points from the past 30 available at Anfield, the outcome of tonight’s match is by no means a foregone conclusion, even if Jurgen Klopp’s side are hosting a Southampton team that have largely uinderwhelmed and are without a win in their past three games. Kick-off at Anfield is at 8.15pm (BST) but stay tuned in the meantime for team news and build-up.

(The Guardian) Having been named in Jurgen Klopp’s starting line-up for the postponed game against Manchester United last weekenbd, Nat Phillips is expected to return to action tonight. His fellow central defenders, the long-term absentees Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez remain on the sidelines. Jordan Henderson is also out, as is reserve goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. Southmapton loanee Takumi Minamino is unable to play against his parent club and will have to watch this one from the stands, where he will be joined by his fellow striker Danny Ings, who is not expected to play again this season. The fitness of Ryan Bertrand is also in doubt and he may be replaced by Jack Stephens. Yannick Westergard is available for selection, after Southampton got the ridiculous red card he was shown in their game against Leicester last weekend overturned. Midfielder Oriel Romeu remains out as he recovers from a fractured foot. Team news: Fraser Forster is in goal for the visitors instead of Alex McCarthy, while Jack Stephens starts at left-back. Nathan Redmond and Che Adams provide a two-pronged attack up front. Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak are in the heart of Liverpool’s defence in a Liverpool line-up that has no surprises. We’ll have the full line-ups for you in a moment.

(The Guardian) Those teams: Jurgen Klopp makes two changes, bringing Rhys WIlliams into the heart of his defence in place of Ozan Kabak, who is not in the matchday squad. Diogo Jota is in for Roberto Firmino, who drops to the bench. On loan at Southampton from Liverpool and therefore ineligible for this game, Takumi Minamino is replaced by Theo Walcott in Ralph Hassenhuttl’s only change.

No, it’s not what you think. Upon closer inspection, it turns out Gini Wijnaldum is merely squirting the contents from a water bottle. Photograph: Alex Pantling/Getty Images Ste_Macca, what did you put in those water bottles?

(The Guardian) Not long now: James Ward-Prowse leads Southampton out and the visitors are followed by Liverpool, skippered by Gini Wijnaldum. Southampton are rank outsiders to win this game, but I have a feeling in ma bones they might just get a result tonight. We shall see ...

(The Guardian) 1 min: Southampton get the ball rolling, their players wearing white shirts, shorts and socks. The players of Liverpool wear their usual red home kit.
2 min: Correction, Southampton wear white shirts with a red sash - they’ve come to Anfield disguised as Peru. Or altar boys. They win an early corner, which James Ward-Prowse takes. Jannick Westergard gets his head to the ball but can’t control his effort. Trent Alexander-Arnold clears.

(The Guardian) 4 min: Not much of note to report so far but Southampton are dominating proceedings in these early stages.
4 min: Southampton win a throw-in on the halfway line by the technical areas.
