Liverpool travel to Southampton on Sunday for their final Premier League match of the season, and manager Jurgen Klopp has hinted at what his team might look like
The Reds have nothing to play for at St. Mary’s as they are guaranteed to finish fifth this season, and Klopp has stated that he will make changes at the weekend to allow players who haven’t played much this season to prove themselves.
Klopp said at his press conference on Friday, via Neil Jones, “I think it makes sense that we make changes, to get fresh players on the pitch, and players who want to show something.”

This means that Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho, and Mohamed Salah will be rested for the Southampton game, giving Kelleher, Gomez, Elliott, and Carvalho opportunities.
Because it is his final game for the Reds, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain may also play, giving the travelling fans a chance to say goodbye to the star before embarking on a new adventure next season.
