Liverpool predicted lineup vs Southampton – FA Cup

Liverpool host Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round on Wednesday night

Reds won the Carabao Cup final on Sunday despite a litany of absences

Will Jurgen Klopp welcome back any stars in midweek?

There’s a rather swift turnaround for the Carabao Cup victors as they play host Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round on Wednesday night.

Virgil van Dijk’s late extra-time winner secured Jurgen Klopp his first piece of silverware during the German’s farewell tour and Liverpool harbour hopes of ending 2023/24 with multiple additions to their trophy cabinet

Their FA Cup campaign continues in midweek against the second-tier Saints, who were relegated from the Premier League last season.

Klopp is likely to once again be without an endless list of core players on Wednesday, and here’s how he could set his Liverpool side up.

Liverpool vs Southampton – FA Cup: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction

Liverpool predicted lineup vs Southampton (4-3-3)

CM: Bobby Clark – Clark is surely in line for his 10th senior appearance on Wednesday given the likely absences of Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch.

RW: Harvey Elliott – Elliott recently celebrated his 100th Liverpool appearance, and he’s become more important than ever to Klopp’s Reds.

ST: Cody Gakpo – The Dutchman came close on a couple of occasions before Van Dijk headed home the all-important winner at Wembley. Klopp will once again turn to Gakpo to take responsibility given Liverpool’s injuries up top.

LW: Luis Diaz – Having played all 120 minutes on Sunday, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Diaz drop out of the XI. But who could come in and play down the left?
