Team News
Liverpool come into this match with three players missing due to injuries and one out due to Suspension. Ibaham Konate, Conor Bradley and Kostas Tsimikas will miss the trip to St Mary’s while Andy Robertson is out due to suspension. Ibrahima Konate has been out since Liverpool’s win over Real Madrid with a knee injury and he is expected to be unavailable until boxing day. Liverpool’s right-back Conor Bradley injured his hamstring in the same game after he is not expected to be available for selection soon. Kostas Tsimikas recently hurt his ankle in training, and the Greece international will likely target a return for the Boxing Day clash with Leicester City too. Just 17 minutes into Saturday’s clash with Fulham, Robertson took the walk of shame for a last-man foul on Harry Wilson, and the Scottish left-back will serve his one-game ban in the quarter-final.
Southampton are not so fortunate on the injury or disciplinary front either, as Jack Stephens (suspended), Aaron Ramsdale (finger), Will Smallbone (thigh), Juan Larios (unspecified), Ross Stewart (calf) and Gavin Bazunu (Achilles) are still missing. Nathan Wood put in a strong shift in Bednarek’s place against Villa, though, so James Bree could give way for the Pole instead, as Martin tinkers ever so slightly with his rearguard setup.
