After navigating a busy calendar that includes Premier League and Champions League commitments, Arne Slot is set to rotate his squad, offering fringe players and recent arrivals a chance to impress.
In goal, Giorgi Mamardashvili could make his competitive debut, while Giovanni Leoni may pair with Joe Gomez in defence for a debut of his own.
Up front, Alexander Isak is likely to spearhead the attack with support from Federico Chiesa and Rio Ngumoha, who caught the eye on his league bow.
Arne Slot has already hinted after the Merseyside derby that plenty of senior Reds players will not feature, including the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Mohamed Salah, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai.
The Dutch manager further explained in his pre-Southampton programme notes that the schedule demands plenty of rotation this evening:
“Another impact of the schedule is that we will certainly be making a number of changes for tonight’s fixture.
At the time of writing, it is too early to say how many, but whatever the number, we will select a starting line-up that is more than ready to play against Southampton – a team we know well, having faced them three times last season.
