Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs. Southampton: Premier League | OneFootball

Liverpool host Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday looking to extend their lead atop the table to 16 points.

Liverpool continue to dominate in the Premier League while carrying a one goal lead into the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. The Reds were outmatched midweek by PSG, but still found a way through thanks to Harvey Elliott's heroics off the bench and Alisson's form in goal.

Now, against the worst team in the league in Southampton, Arne Slot could rotate his side giving key players a rest. Dropping points wouldn't be the end of the world in terms of the title race, but Slot has the next UCL leg and the Carabao Cup final to take into consideration. If Slot can offer the likes of Mohamed Salah, Ryan Gravenberch and others rest and still secure three points, it'll be a great weekend for the Reds.

Here's how Liverpool could line up at Anfield on Saturday, Mar. 8.
