Liverpool are favourites to claim all three points on Sunday when they travel to face Southampton in the Premier League.

The Reds are currently top of the table but head into this one with a few niggling injury concerns from the international break.

Here's how the Southampton and Liverpool squads are shaping up.

Southampton Team News

Gavin Bazunu, Ross Stewart and Will Smallbone are long-term absentees for the Saints and they've recently been joined in the physio room by Aaron Ramsdale and Jan Bednarek, giving Russell Martin a defensive headache.

Liverpool Team News

Alexander-Arnold suffered a hamstring injury against Aston Villa and missed the international break with England, so he'll miss this one alongside Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa.

Arne Slot confirmed that Virgil van Dijk is fine to play despite being released by the Netherlands early, while Harvey Elliott could make his long-awaited return from a fractured foot.

Southampton vs Liverpool Expected Lineups

With Ramsdale and Bednarek now out, Alex McCarthy will deputise in goal, while Nathan Wood could replace the Poland international in the centre of defence.

Southampton (4-5-1): McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Wood, Stephens, Harwood-Bellis, Manning; Armstrong, Downes, Aribo, Fernandes; Archer

Caoimhin Kelleher will continue between the sticks in the absence of Alisson, with Conor Bradley featuring at right-back in place of Alexander-Arnold.

Curtis Jones has been preferred to Dominik Szoboszlai in the last few matches and that trend could continue here. In the absence of Jota, Darwin Nunez will likely continue at centre-forward.

Liverpool (4-3-3): Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Nunez
