Some Liverpool fans on Twitter want to see Xherdan Shaqiri in the starting line-up against Southampton at St Mary's on Saturday despite his lack of minutes so far this season.

The Switzerland international has often found himself as a back-up player, featuring for just 1,057 minutes in the Premier League last term, for the Merseyside outfit ever since making the move from Stoke City last summer, and it has been no different so far during the beginning of the 2019/20 campaign.

The 27-year-old's only minutes from their three fixtures so far came in an 11-minute cameo from the substitutes' bench against Manchester City in the Community Shield, while he was an unused member of the matchday squads against Norwich City in the Premier League and Chelsea in the Super Cup.

With the latter going the full distance on Wednesday with extra time and penalties, it wouldn't be a surprise to see manager Jurgen Klopp rotate his side a little this weekend.

Shaqiri is versatile and could fill in either in an attacking midfield role or on either flank, and that could prove to be useful for his manager on Saturday as he looks to ensure that they maintain a 100% start to the season in the top flight.

Liverpool supporters certainly see that as the case, with one simply saying "Shaqiri should start", and another saying "Shaqiri on the right is perfect".

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction...
