Premier League 2024-2025: Liverpool-Southampton, the likely lineups
Liverpool-Southampton, the probable formations
The Saturday of the Premier League proposes, to fans and insiders, the most classic of the head-to-tail: Liverpool, ruler of the season with a good thirteen points ahead of Arsenal second in the standings, faces at Anfield (kick-off at 16) the modest Southampton, which has collected just 9 points in 27 games.
Certainly tempted by turnover, as the Champions League round of 16 against PSG is on the horizon,
Arne Slot could bet from 1' on Harvey Elliott, hero of the Paris trip with the goal he scored in the final, seconds after he was greased on the pitch. Possible, however, the use of Salah: the desire to rest the bigs corresponds on the other hand to the need not to lose points against the last in the standings.
At home Southampton now seems to prevail resignation for a relegation avoidable only with a miracle: Ivan Juric and his players are nevertheless ready to sell their skins dearly, although only two results other than defeat have come in 2025, the success against Swansea in the FA Cup (before elimination in the next round) and the victory against Ipswich on February 1, still a drop in the ocean.
Probable lineups
Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Elliott, Jones; Nunez. All. Slot.
Southampton (3-4-2-1): Ramsdale; Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Bella-Kotchap; Walker-Peters, Ugochukwu, Aribo, Welington; Dibling, Fernandes; Onuachu. All. Juric.
