The dilemma for Jurgen Klopp is that key players have suffered injuries lately and the squad is tired. So, the German will have to rely on his B team vs the Saints. We can expect eight changes in the squad that started vs the Blues on Saturday.
At the back, Van Dijk was subbed off after 90 minutes at the weekend and the Dutch superstar must be rested. In his place, Matip could start in the central defense with Konate.
In the fullback positions, Tsimikas, who scored the winning penalty against Chelsea, should replace Robbo to start in the left back role. On the other hand, Joe Gomez could replace Trent Alexander-Arnold in the right back position.

The likes of Mane and Diaz may start on the bench but Salah, who was injured in the FA Cup final, should be rested for the game on Tuesday night. Here is Liverpool’s probable 4-3-3 XI vs Southampton:
