After leaders Manchester City were held at West Ham on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp’s FA Cup winners have been given a chance to close to within just a single point of their rivals ahead of the final weekend.
Fresh off the back of their second Wembley triumph of the season, Liverpool are in boisterous mood and dreams of a quadruple cannot be dismissed as they head to St Mary’s.

Tino Livramento is the chief absentee for Southampton as he continues to recover from a long-term knee injury. Fraser Forster and Stuart Armstrong face late fitness tests.
Liverpool, meanwhile, will be without both key stars Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk for tonight’s clash.
