Liverpool will need a win in their trip to St Marys to keep the Premier League title race alive, setting up a mouth-watering mid-week clash versus Southampton. Manchester City clawed their way back against West Ham United in their previous match which has created an unlikely opening for the Reds in their quest for an unprecedented quadruple. The Reds are fresh on the back of a FA Cup triumph and will be raring to battle the Saints. Hosts Southampton are 15th in the points table and have had a below par season by their standards.
