Liverpool will look to maintain their 100% start to the Premier League season when they face Southampton at St Mary's on Saturday.

The Reds kicked off their top flight campaign with a convincing 4-1 win against Norwich City at Anfield last week, before a gruelling Super Cup contest against Chelsea in Istanbul on Wednesday.

120 minutes and a penalty shoot-out later, the Merseyside outfit had another trophy to their name, but fatigue may well be an issue ahead of the trip to the south coast this weekend.

Here is the starting XI we think Jurgen Klopp is going to select…

Liverpool have already used two goalkeepers in their opening two fixtures, and it could be three in three after Klopp revealed on Friday that Adrian is a potential doubt after he was bizarrely injured by a fan on the pitch during the celebrations on Wednesday.

Given Alisson's absence we don't think that the German will risk playing the Spaniard if he isn't at 100%, and that means veteran Andy Lonergan starts.

In defence, Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to the side with Joe Gomez the man to drop out, meaning Joel Matip and former Saint Virgil van Dijk once again partner each other at the heart of the backline.

Ahead of them, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho – who were both out on their feet following their exertions in midweek with the latter suffering badly from cramp – sit this one out with Gini Wijnaldum and Adam Lallana starting deep in the centre instead.

With Naby Keita also out we think Klopp could choose to go with a 4-2-3-1 system, with Roberto Firmino playing behind Mo Salah and with Sadio Mane and Xherdan Shaqiri – who was an unused substitute against Norwich and Chelsea – on the wings.
