Jürgen Klopp denies Liverpool struggle at Anfield – saying it was just “the moments” that let Bournemouth and Crystal Palace to take points from the last two home games – but they do have a problem with Southampton. This will be the seventh meeting between the sides in the past two seasons. Liverpool have won only once so far, a 6-1 rout in the Capital One Cup, and have not scored in three games against Claude Puel’s team this term. Philippe Coutinho is on course to recover from the dead leg suffered at Watford on Monday, with the home needing to hold their nerve in the race for Champions League qualification. Andy Hunter
