Liverpool 3 - 1 Southampton - Premier League Player Ratings
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 9.0
Brazil's number one, in his last start as a red before the World Cup. He was superb, and was able to stand out once again.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0
England’s most talked about player, came back in for the impressive Calvin Ramsay. Was solid enough throughout and really seemed intent on being a consistent presence in the back.

Liverpool 3 - 1 Southampton - Man Of The Match
Alisson Becker
I don’t really like the fact that our goalkeeper is getting so many man of the matches this season, but as long as we win, I’ll keep awarding it.
Alisson is the best keeper this Premier League has ever seen, and the giant Brazilian just allows us to be impenetrable at times. We have to hope this man comes back as fit as he leaves us, as he may just be our most important player right now.

Liverpool v Southampton - The Premier League Preview
It’s the last game for these two sides before the Wold Cup circus takes over football, and it represents a chance for both to end this first phase of the season on a high. It’s been fairly mediocre till now for both teams, but there has been the odd bright spot, and the last three outings for Liverpool have at least all ended in victory (sort of). Southampton’s away day hammering last weekend brought down the curtain on their manager's …
Liverpool vs Napoli: Full XI or Kids?
Liverpool's 3-0 win over Ajax on Wednesday night clinched their spot in the knockout round of the UCL. This puts Liverpool in a familiar position: one game left to play, with nothing on the line. In the extremely rare event that Liverpool beat Napoli by 4, Liverpool would finish first in Group A. However, in any other result, the final table standings remain unchanged, with Napoli on top of the group, and the Reds in second. This brings up one …
Southampton 1 - 2 Liverpool - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 7.0
Could do nothing for the opening goal, given the deflection. The first half was pretty routine from there. Did everything correct through a nervy last few minutes.
Joe Gomez - 6.5
So disappointing to see this young man injured, again. Was lively and unlucky for the goal. Was part of the equaliser.
Subbed - 45 mins
Kostas Tsimikas - 7.5

Observations: Liverpool grind past Southampton
It's never easy these days is it? Seems as though every single match some random slice of misfortune strikes to put Liverpool on the back foot. In this game it was a freakish deflection looping past Alisson after one of the most blatant fouls you'll ever see wasn't given at the other end of the pitch. The Reds overcame the deficit to win 2-1 courtesy of goals from Takumi Minamino and Joel Matip, but it should never have gotten to …
History Is Being Written
The weekend's games brought up a variation of emotions for all Reds fans, with the jubilant FA Cup Final victory quickly replaced by pure viewership of the West Ham v City battle.
Both games ended in a draw, and where Liverpool's score line eventually produced silverware, it could be that City’s draw will inevitably do the same. Points will still need to be dropped by City for Liverpool to stand a chance, and a stand-alone win against Southampton will keep …
One Night In Southampton
When Jürgen Norbert Klopp arrived at Liverpool, there was a sense of relief and hope. The style of football quickly changed, the tempo of the matches picked up, the gegenpressing began to unfold, and certain players started to fall under the intense pressure.
Brendan Rodgers and his patterns of play were forever changing at Liverpool, with the recruitment (post Luis Suarez) often horrific. That 6-1 defeat to Stoke should have been Brendan’s last game, however it is clear that the …
Thiago on how it felt to break his Liverpool duck
Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcântara vowed that The Reds will keep fighting for a top-four finish after his goal sealed their latest win.
The Spain international popped up with a well-taken late goal to secure all three points, giving Liverpool a 2-0 victory against Southampton on Saturday night. Sadio Mané had opened the scoring in the first half for Jürgen Klopp's men.
Speaking with Sky Sports in his post-match interview, Thiago commented on Liverpool's push for Champions League qualification and how …
Will this be Liverpool's starting eleven to play Southampton on Saturday?
Liverpool meet Southampton at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday night. We've had a look at the likely starting lineup for The Reds.
Jürgen Klopp will again have plenty of decisions to make. Not only with regards to the starting eleven but also about the formation Liverpool will use.
I'm guessing Klopp will opt for a 4-2-3-1 shape in this one, just to get all his best-attacking options on the pitch right from the start. This would see Mohamed …
