Fabinho is yet to make a start since returning to full-fitness and there’s a good chance he will remain on the bench for Saturday’s fixture as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has done fairly well in recent games, scoring against West Ham.

The Brazilian is slowly coming back to full fitness and Klopp will throw the Octopus into battle at some point, although he isn’t ready to start just yet.

Hence, there’s a good chance the England international will start against Southampton. However, it won’t be much of a surprise if Fabinho gets a start ahead of him.

Henderson and Wijnaldum have both been in terrific form lately and should start against the Saints this weekend. Both players will be eager to produce good performances and help Liverpool secure all three points. Naby Keita and Adam Lallana are back to fitness but will most likely end up on the bench.
