Southampton by far the better of the two on the night. Liverpool have their young German keeper to thank for keeping them in the tie.

A loss on the night was a deserving result for Liverpool. Southampton played really well and were by far the better team, considering the amount of breaks they mustered up during the game.

Liverpool have two team members to thank for outstanding displays on the night. Loris Karius were excellent to keep the score line at 0-1 and Lucas for fitting in the quarterback roll left by the captain.

Said it before, this fixture never disappoints, especially in a cup tie. With Southampton going to Anfield in the driving seat, Liverpool will come hard in a venue they were unbeaten for the entire year of 2016.
