Liverpool take on Sotuhampton in the Premier League later today. Here, three of our writers select the starting XIs we would like Jürgen Klopp to choose.
For me, this may also be the final chance for Divock Origi to seize his moment in a Liverpool shirt, and Klopp may just give him a starting berth. In midfield, it will be a very big ask for Henderson to play another game, but such is the scarcity of depth in the number six role that he may have to try. Meanwhile, Sadio Mané and Luis Díaz have both played a lot of minutes recently and I wouldn't be surprised to see Roberto Firmino coming in for one of the two. Naby Keïta, on the other hand, was taken off just after the 70-minute mark and that might have kept him fresh enough to start this game. He should be back in contention, but it might make sense to give cup hero Tsimikas the nod on this occasion. While the prognosis on Salah and Van Dijk was optimistic, it would be a shock to see either feature.

"It is a special group of players and a special football club. All we can do is take it as far as we can." Liverpool came from a goal down in dramatic fashion to beat Southampton 2-1 at St. Mary's Stadium on Tuesday night, trimming Manchester City's lead at the top of the Premier League to a single point with one match left to play in the 2021-22 season.

But it was a Liverpool center-back who provided the moment of the second half. Mohamed Elyounoussi's short clearance from a Konstantinos Tsimikas corner dropped kindly for Matip, who instinctively headed the ball goalwards and watched on in delight as it looped into the net. Liverpool will go into the final day of the Premier League season with a slim chance of wrestling the title from Manchester City's grasp.
Nathan Redmond gave Southampton an early lead but Takumi Minamino and Joël Matip completed a turnaround 2-1 win for Liverpool to keep the club's title hopes ...
Liverpool set about repairing the damage and what pleased Klopp the most was how they took the setback in their stride. It was a balancing act for Klopp, his calculations taking in the likelihood of City messing it up on the final day and the possibility of getting injuries ahead of the Champions League final. They squeezed high and it was all Southampton could do to escape their own half. They were 5-4-1 without the ball, Redmond at left wing-back, Tella at left midfield but both of them tried to push up on the counter. Liverpool came to dominate the ball and there was only one team asking the questions in the final third. It is a remarkable detail of their season that they will play in every game of the four main competitions, with the Champions League final against Real Madrid on Saturday week set to be the last one.

Southampton fans teased Liverpool supporters during their Premier League meeting on Tuesday night following in Reds' recent booing of the national anthem.
Despite struggling for minutes this season, former Saints and current Liverpool winger Minamino has had a prolific campaign in front of goal. However, to win the Premier League on Sunday, they must beat Wolverhampton Wanderers and hope that Man City drop points against Aston Villa, managed by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard. Ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium, where Liverpool beat Chelsea 5-4 on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes, Liverpool fans booed when the national anthem was played and live images of Prince William were being shown.
