The FA Cup match between Liverpool and Southampton will take place at Anfield on Thursday at 1:30 am IST.
Liverpool, who recently won the EFL Cup, are now turning their attention to the FA Cup as they face Southampton in the fifth round at Anfield. Liverpool won against Chelsea in the EFL Cup final, while Southampton lost to Millwall in a Championship match.
Since Jurgen Klopp became Liverpool’s manager, the team has won seven trophies, including the Champions League and Premier League titles. Klopp considers their recent EFL Cup win over Chelsea as the most special achievement yet. The final was intense, with Liverpool ultimately winning in extra time thanks to Virgil van Dijk’s goal. Despite facing injuries and having young players on the field, Liverpool secured their record-extending 10th EFL Cup victory. Now, they must quickly shift focus to the FA Cup, aiming to progress further than the fifth round, something they’ve only done once in the past nine seasons. Liverpool’s recent form has been strong, including wins against Arsenal and Norwich City in the FA Cup and a clean sheet against Chelsea.
Southampton had a tough time recently, losing three out of four Championship matches, including two home losses. Their latest defeat, a 2-1 result against Millwall, left them five points behind the automatic promotion spots. Despite their struggles, they can’t avoid their FA Cup match against Liverpool. Southampton has had mixed success in the FA Cup, reaching the fifth round in previous seasons but also suffering early exits. They’ve been on a scoring streak, but facing Liverpool at Anfield is a daunting task. Although Southampton held Liverpool to a draw in the Premier League before, they haven’t faced them in the FA Cup since 1989-90. However, Liverpool has a strong record against Southampton at Anfield.
Liverpool probable starting lineup: Kelleher, Bradley, Gomez, Quansah, Tsimikas, Clark, Mac Allister, McConnell, Elliott, Danns, Gakpo
Southampton probable starting lineup: Lumley, Bree, Stephens, Bednarek, Walker-Peters, Rothwell, Smallbone, Aribo, Edozie, Adams, Sulemana
