The Saints have managed just one away win all season, defeating fellow strugglers Ipswich Town on 25 January.
Team News
Liverpool will be missing Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton due to injury, while Conor Bradley is doubtful due to a hamstring strain.
Southampton have Kyle Walker-Peters, Ryan Fraser, Jan Bednarek and Adam Lallana sidelined.

"We're really happy that we are 13 points clear but we just focus on ourselves. We have [the] Champions League coming up so we have to focus on that too. We are looking forward to staying at the top of the table.”
