The Reds know they have to win St. Mary’s tonight to keep the Premier League title live on the last day of the season.
At the break, however, he is at the level, as Takumi Minamino canceled the early goal of Nathan Redmond.
Manchester City’s draw against West Ham, in which the leaders of the championship come from two goals down and then Riyad Marez misses a penalty that could win the match, means that Liverpool is four points behind the pace with a game – tonight – in hand . Even a draw is not enough given City’s seven-goal lead.
Despite the high stakes, Jurgen Klopp eliminated Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dyke from the game, although the pair seemingly overcame fears of injury from the FA Cup final. After the Champions League final was also on the horizon, the Liverpool boss made nine changes – Trent Alexander-Arnold and Sadio Mane also completely missed the lineup.

62 minutes: Everything good from Liverpool comes through Firmino.
This is another wonderful review, this time for Jones. He tries to bend it low around the bodies, but he never comes back that much.
Indecisive calls for a penalty as Giotto finds himself on the ground – even Liverpool fans didn’t really get involved.

59 minutes: Another corner of Liverpool. So far, they have not taken advantage of them at all.
Milner pulls him low to the edge of the box, where Elliott drives him straight into a mass of bodies. Add this to the list of kits that have done nothing – it is long.

56 minutes: Liverpool continues to build up pressure!
Firmino was sensational tonight and slid the ball to Elliott. Narrow corner, lifts it above McCarthy, but in the side net.
Southampton are unlikely to survive again.

54 minutes: Scattered in the Southampton box, but almost working for Liverpool. Henderson steers him forward, Firmino transfers him to Giotto, just cleared before he can deflect the blow.
Liverpool corner, header and Southampton can break. Ward-Prowse attempts to pass to Elyounoussi, but straight to Alisson.

51 minutes: Ball raised above Liverpool’s back line, Milner clumsily takes down the number. Free kick for Southampton – definitely too far even for Ward-Proes.
However, it looks like he will try. He does it – full power, minimal accuracy. Right in the wall at the height of the shin.

49 minutes: CLOSE!
Tsimikas exploded forward to the left again. He cuts it back to Giotto, gets hit quickly, but is dragged a little away from the far beam.
It is not a very bold prediction to say that a goal for Liverpool will come if it stays that way.

47 minutes: Henderson was already heavily involved with Liverpool, receiving a lot of the ball.
He sends a long pass from above to Tsimikas, but he jumps off the field and behind for a goal kick. From the same after the break – without increased ambitions from Southampton.

Back in progress!
We start again.
Gomez went on vacation, and Henderson replaced him. Milner moves to right back.

At the moment, Man City will have three points ahead on the last day of the season with a goal difference that is seven better than that of Liverpool.
Guardiola’s country would very much accept that!

Liverpool with 12 shots in the first half, three in the goal. 73% possession also when Southampton sat down immediately.
The hosts managed only one shot in the half – a goal by Redmond. Clinical, if you are generous …
