Liverpool are set to take on Southampton in their final league game of the season, with results elsewhere meaning that the clash in question is a dead rubber.
Still, there’s no question that Jurgen Klopp’s men will be inclined to look at a visit to the South Coast as an opportunity to both end the campaign on a high and set a positive tone ahead of the summer.
Expect serious change from June onwards as incoming sporting director Jorg Schmadtke helps lead recruitment for a window the Reds cannot afford to get wrong.

Predicted Liverpool team v Southampton
We can see Caoimhin Kelleher coming in for the throwaway game at St. Mary’s with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate starting ahead of the Irishman in the backline.
A midfield trio of Curtis Jones, Fabinho and Harvey Elliott may very well be selected for the encounter.
Up top, we think it will be a relatively unchanged forward line from the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, seeing Luis Diaz, Bobby Firmino and Mo Salah lining up.
EOTK’s predicted team: Kelleher, Robertson, Van Dijk, Konate, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Jones, Elliott, Diaz, Firmino, Salah
I’m just hoping & preying this is Jones last game in a Liverpool shirt, just not good enough.
