Southampton
With no fresh concerns to report from their drubbing at the Brentford Community Stadium, Southampton remain in good shape barring long-term absentee Valentino Livramento, and Hasenhuttl is hopeful that Stuart Armstrong and Fraser Forster will both recover from joint pains in time for the contest.
Changes should certainly be in the offing after the dismal showing in gameweek 35, though, with Oriol Romeu primed to take the place of Ibrahima Diallo alongside Player of the Season nominee James Ward-Prowse.
Adam Armstrong was also given a rare opportunity in the final third last time out, but Che Adams will aim to displace his counterpart against the Merseyside giants.
Southampton possible starting lineup:
Forster; Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Salisu, Perraud; Redmond, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, S. Armstrong; Adams, Broja
Liverpool
Speaking of Liverpool, Klopp is already working without Fabinho until the Champions League final and also witnessed Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk come off with injuries in the FA Cup final.
The influential duo are not thought to be nursing serious issues but will understandably be carefully assessed ahead of three crucial fixtures, while Andy Robertson might be afforded a rest after suffering from cramp in the cup.
Klopp ought to make significant alterations after more than 120 minutes of gruelling FA Cup action, as Tsimikas, Joe Gomez, Roberto Firmino and Curtis Jones look ahead to recalls to the side.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Gomez, Matip, Konate, Tsimikas; Jones, Henderson, Keita; Jota, Firmino, Diaz
Prediction: Southampton 0-2 Liverpool
