Liverpool host Southampton in a Premier League clash at Anfield.

Liverpool host Southampton at Anfield today hoping to take one big step towards securing a top four spot in the Premier League.

The Reds go into their final three games knowing that victory in each will secure a top four spot and a return to the Champions League, but they face a Southampton side that will have happy memories of their last trip to Merseyside.

Claude Puel’s men booked their place in this season’s EFL Cup final with a dramatic 1-0 win at Anfield thanks to a Shane Long goal, and they will be hoping for a repeat of that result following an extremely disappointing spell.

Dusan Tadic’s missed penalty against Hull means that they are without a win in three and desperately need an upturn in form if they hope to boost their chances of finishing in the top-half of the table.

And with Puel seemingly under growing pressure from the fans, three points against Liverpool today may help the Frenchman enormously.
