3-0 shutout of Southampton and onto Sevilla


Liverpool fans are singing happy days are here again with another easy win! 

With Salah, Mane, Firmino, and Coutinho running and passing Southampton had no chance and so LFC is on a roll. 

Big test this Tuesday on the road at Sevilla, a team that has been beat Liverpool in the Europa League final in 2016 and snatched a draw in 2017 in the first half of Champions League Group play. 

LFC would benefit psychologically with a solid win to prove to themselves they can beat a team they haven't beaten recently.

Who do you put on the line-up card knowing Chelsea is coming up on the weekend - an even bigger test?

The front three fills in itself: Salah, Mane, Firmino.

The midfield three: Coutinho is the only definite starter.

Who do you pick to take the other two spots?

Milner, Can, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana?

I'd go with Milner and Can to provide some rotation with instructions to be defensive minded jumping into the offensive flow cautiously.

As for the back four: Alexander-Arnold, Klavan, Lovren, Moreno.

Karius in goal.

Subs likely to be used: Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wijnaldum, Sturridge.

Am guessing Lallana might used as a 70th or 80th minute substitute if the game is well in hand. Or perhaps he will be held out until the match against Chelsea this weekend.

Go Reds!
