Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Southampton

Liverpool conclude their Premier League campaign with the long trip to St Mary's to square off against already-relegated Southampton on Sunday.

Up until last week, Liverpool fancied their chances of sneaking into the top four of the standings to edge out either Newcastle United or Manchester United for a Champions League place.

However, as a result of Manchester United's win over Chelsea on Thursday night, they are now guaranteed a fifth-placed finish, making this weekend's match effectively a dead-rubber.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Saints, who are guaranteed to finish bottom of the table.

Jurgen Klopp revealed in his pre-match press conference that Andrew Robertson had picked up a slight groin injury which needs a scan. While the injury does not seem to be serious, and the left-back has not been ruled out of this match, it is unlikely that he will be risked in a game with nothing riding on it.
