What Channel is Liverpool vs Southampton On Tonight?

Summary

Liverpool will rotate heavily, with Salah, Van Dijk, and Szoboszlai rested.
Southampton hopes to capitalise on Liverpool’s changes at Anfield.
Arne Slot’s Reds remain strong favourites despite absentees.

On Tuesday night, Liverpool will kick off their EFL Cup campaign at Anfield against Championship side Southampton. Arne Slot's side has yet to lose in all competitions this term, but the Dutch coach is likely to rotate heavily, including missing Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Dominik Szoboszlai. Liverpool will remain favourites, but the Saints will look to take advantage of the situation against a significantly different XI.

Team News

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has revealed that Salah, Van Dijk, Konaté, Gravenberch, and Szoboszlai are all going to be rested to manage fatigue. Wataru Endo is set to play at the base of midfield with Trey Nyoni, a teenager, likely to start at some point. Federico Chiesa may start through the middle of the attack. Giorgi Mamardashvili will start in goal, with Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni likely to be centre-backs.
For Southampton, manager Will Still is expected to start with a back three of Edwards, Wood, and Stephens. Flynn Downes could return to the squad after illness, while Archer and Stewart may be the attacking partnership.

Form Guide

Liverpool (all comps): W W W W W W – The Reds have made a perfect start to the season, winning all six games in all competitions while scoring 14 in the process, and their character is evident despite a few defensive errors.

Southampton (all comps): D L W D D L – The Saints are struggling in the Championship, with just one win in their last six games, but at least they are still unbeaten in the EFL Cup this season.

Match Preview

Liverpool is looking for an 11th EFL Cup title and is aiming for their seventh straight win in all competitions. Their attack has been excellent with 14 goals this season, but they have been shaky defensively, letting several two-goal leads slip.
Southampton, meanwhile, has been inconsistent in the Championship under Will Still. They will rely on their defensive shape to frustrate Liverpool, but their recent form and attacking inconsistency could let them down at Anfield.
While the Saints have been good in this competition in the past, going away to play a rotated yet still strong Liverpool side seems like an intimidating task.
