Takumi Minamino, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah

Divock Origi had to be subbed off during the West Ham game due to cramps as stated by Jurgen Klopp.

Even though Klopp didn’t seem too worried about the Belgian when speaking about his situation, there’s a good chance he could be benched as a precautionary measure. And with Sadio Mane out as well, we could Takumi Minamino make his first Premier League start for Liverpool.

The Japanese international will be looking to make the most out of the opportunity provided he is in the starting lineup.

Mohamed Salah became Liverpool’s top scorer during the season by netting the club’s opening goal against West Ham. The Egyptian will be eager to increase that tally against Southampton.
