With the two cups in the bag already, Liverpool will attempt to keep their hopes of a domestic clean sweep alive when they head to Southampton on Tuesday night.

The Reds must beat Saints and hope they win, and Manchester City do not, on the final day of the season at the weekend.

However, even as much importance as this game therefore has, Jurgen Klopp may opt to rotate his team given the demands of going to extra time and penalties at Wembley just three days prior - and with the Champions League final also on the horizon.

What is the team news?

Saints should be in good shape given the length of rest between matches, though Tino Livramento is sidelined with a long-term injury. There’s a decision to make in goal, with both Alex McCarthy and Fraser Forster returning to training recently.

Liverpool saw Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah come off during the FA Cup final at the weekend so they may not be risked with the Champions League final on the horizon. The only other injury absentee is Fabinho, so Jordan Henderson should continue as the deepest midfielder.
