Liverpool will look to continue their blistering start to the season on Tuesday when they begin their Carabao Cup campaign at home to Championship side Southampton.
Arne Slot’s men are currently on a six-match winning streak across all competitions. The Saints, meanwhile, travel to Anfield without a victory in their last five league games and face a daunting task against the Premier League leaders.

Team News
Liverpool
Arne Slot has confirmed he will heavily rotate his squad for the cup tie. He will rest a number of key stars, including Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Dominik Szoboszlai. This will provide an opportunity for players like Wataru Endo, Federico Chiesa, and record signing Alexander Isak to start.
Southampton
Southampton manager Will Still will be without defender Welington for the trip to Anfield, while Samuel Edozie is also a doubt. Captain Jack Stephens will marshal the defence, and striker Adam Armstrong, who scored in the previous round, will lead the line.
Form
Liverpool
The Reds are in superb form, having won their last six matches in all competitions. Their record at Anfield is particularly formidable. They are unbeaten in their last nine games at home and have won their last eight meetings with Southampton on their own patch, keeping four clean sheets in the process.
Southampton
The Saints’ league form has been poor, with the team now winless in five Championship matches after a weekend defeat at Hull City. However, their form in the Carabao Cup has been a bright spot. They have scored seven goals in their two victories to reach this stage of the competition.
Predicted Lineups
Liverpool predicted XI: Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Leoni, Gomez, Robertson; Nyoni, Endo; Ngumoha, Jones, Chiesa; Isak.
Southampton predicted XI: McCarthy; Edwards, Wood, Stephens; Roerslev, Fraser, Downes, Charles, Manning; Stewart, Archer.
