Liverpool’s Predicted XI V Southampton: Reds To Partner Lovren & Skrtel At The Back

MC) Joe Allen

We reckon Rodgers will plump for the diminutive Welshman instead of new signing Emre Can, despite the young German’s impressive physical nature. Allen’s crisp passing will help the transition from defence into attack.

AMR) Coutinho

Brilliant on the ball throughout the entirety of pre-season, the mercurial Brazilian has the ability to slice open Southampton’s defence at will.
