Liverpool vs Southampton lineups, team news

Liverpool's injury list remains a major issue for Klopp with the German coach forced to throw on a host of teenage substitutes in their final win over Chelsea. 

Midfield duo Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo joined the list of absentees with injuries in the final, and Klopp named a youthful team for this fixture.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3, right to left): Kelleher (GK) — Gomez, Van Dijk, Quansah, Tsimikas — Bradley, Clark, McConnell — Elliott, Gakpo, Koumas.

Liverpool subs (9): Adrian, Konate, Diaz, Mac Allister, Scanlon, Gordon, Nallo, Danns, Nyoni

Southampton's push for Premier League promotion has slipped in recent weeks as Russell Martin aims for an immediate return to the top-flight. 

With the focus on league matters, he also rotates, with first-choice goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu given a break.

Southampton XI (4-3-3 right to left): Lumley (GK) — Bree, Stephens, Bednarek, Manning — Aribo, Rothwell, Charles — Edozie, Mara, Sulemana

Southampton subs (9): McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Armstrong, Adams, Smallbone, Harwood-Bellis, Amo-Ameyaw, Meghoma, Dibling

Liverpool vs Southampton prediction

Despite Liverpool's injury concerns, they remain a force at Anfield, with no home defeat in any competition for just over a year. 

Klopp will hope to have more key players back for the weekend Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest, but against a Southampton team focused on promotion, they should have enough to book a quarterfinal spot.

Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Southampton
