However, Brendan Rogers’ side have been dealt a massive blow as winger Phillipe Coutinho is set to be out of action for the next 6 weeks with a shoulder injury that he picked up in the 2-2 draw with Swansea on Monday.
Despite the injury blow, Rogers has insisted that Liverpool have adequate cover for the player who has been one of the standout figures at Anfield since joining from Inter Milan in January.
This was underlined in the pre-match press conference where Rogers commented: “We have players who are flexible; that was my idea for the top end of the field and they are not nailed down to one position.”
For Southampton, Saturday’s game will be a time where the team will be hoping they can try and find the net having scored just 2 goals all season.
Despite this lowly fact, Southampton have been resilient at the back having also just conceded 2 goals allowing the side to climb up to 10th in the table after their first 4 games.
But with a side that contains some top name such as Rickie Lambert and Gaston Ramirez, the team will be looking to show why these players have garnered the attention of some of the biggest teams in Europe.
Lambert in particular has showed off some goalscoring form this season having netted 2 goals for England since making his debut for the national side against Scotland back in August.
Mauricio Pocchetino will be buoyed by the fact that the team will be virtually injury free heading into Saturday’s clash giving the best possible chance of getting something from what will naturally be a tough test for The Saints.
But with Southampton struggling to find the back of the net this season, Liverpool will be quietly confident that they will be able to breakthrough Southampton’s tough backlines and pick up yet another valuable win.
