As we enter the final stretch of the 2021/22 Premier League season, Liverpool and Manchester City continue to fight it out for the title at the top of the table. The reigning champions and table-toppers almost slipped up hugely in the race this past weekend, with West Ham United coming ever so close to defeating them, only for Pep Guardiola’s troops to rally back and secure a 2-2 draw in London on Sunday.
That result means the Cityzens have a four-point advantage over Liverpool heading into the final matchday of the season. And, the ball is in now the Reds’ court to reduce that lead to just one point when they travel to St. Mary’s to face Southampton on Tuesday night.
As for Southampton, they do not have much left to play for this season, with Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side six points clear of the drop zone and five above 17th-placed Leeds United, who have just one game left. So, they are not in danger of getting dragged into the relegation battle in the final week, while a top-half finish is also beyond their reach.
Tino Livramento is the chief absentee for Southampton as he continues to recover from a long-term knee injury. Fraser Forster and Stuart Armstrong face late fitness tests.
Liverpool, meanwhile, will be without both key stars Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk for tonight’s clash.
