For this match, the player to follow will be Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian center forward and right winger is known for being a real killer in the Premier League and a reference in attack with the Liverpool side, so he will be the player to follow throughout the match. Likewise, since his arrival to the Reds, Salah has been dedicated to break the nets in every game.

Alisson; A. Robertson, V. Van Dijk, I. Konaté, T. Alexander Arnold; Thiago, Fabinho, N. Keita; L. Diaz, R. Firminio, M. Salah.

For this match, the player to watch will be the Saints' iconic center forward Che Adams. The Swedish striker is always a latent danger in the box, whether or not he has the ball under his control, so opposing defenses must always be alert as Che Adams knows how to sneak between the defensive lines to get unmarked and score a goal for Southampton. Also, so far this season, the English striker has been of great importance to keep them fighting to move up the table.

G. Bazunu; M. Salisu, A. Bella -Kotchap, Lyanco; K. Walker-Peters, M. Elyounussi, J. Ward-Prowse, A. Maitland-Niles; S. Edozie, J. Aribo; C. Adams.

Southampton vs Liverpool have met on a total of 115 occasions (31 wins for the Saints, 24 draws, 60 wins for the Red's) where the scales are tipped in favor of the visitors. In terms of goals, Liverpool have the advantage with 181 goals scored, while Southampton have scored only 113 goals. Their last meeting dates back to matchday 16 of the current season where Liverpool beat Southampton 3-1.

St Mary's Stadium is a sports venue dedicated to the professional practice of soccer in England and is located in the town of Southampton in England, has a capacity of 32,698 seated spectators and was inaugurated in 2001 to serve as the home of Southampton Football Club, a team belonging to the first division of England or popularly known as Premier League.

The first match played in this venue was a pre-season friendly between RCD Español and Southampton, ending in a thrilling victory for the Spaniards by a final score of 4-3. Another curious fact surrounding this stadium is that St Mary's Stadium has the category of four stars of UEFA, which makes it an elite stadium and able to host events of great international relevance as a Euro, World Cup, Olympics, etc.

On the other hand, Liverpool is in the qualifying zone for European competitions in the Premier League, a reality that is not bad enough for the Red's considering that they had a difficult start of the season and that halfway through it, they were far from the Big Six of the Premier League with little hope of getting closer to them, however, something changed within Liverpool and today they have already managed to secure the UEFA Europa League thanks to a great way to overcome adversity in points and climb decisions. However, the opportunity to fight for a Champions League place is more alive than ever and for that they will have to win in this last match of the season with the desire to be the last guest to the Champions League.

Southampton will be appearing at St Mary's Stadium to say goodbye to the Premier League after a sad stay throughout the season and with many rainy afternoons for their fans, who despite the bad results, always continued to fill the stands of the stadium. Now, in their farewell to the top flight, the Saints will be looking to say goodbye with a victory to make the bitter pill for their fans a little happier, with the promise of returning as soon as possible to the highest level of professional soccer in England.

The Premier League continues on its way and is heading towards the end of the season with many emotions as the end of the tournament begins to loom in the background and the championship begins to take shape for the teams that want to secure a place at the top of the table and those who want to save themselves from relegation in this tournament. In this match, Southampton Saints will be playing their last game as a Premier League team because after a poor performance throughout the season, relegation was achieved for the locals and they will return to play in the English silver league, so nothing would be more emotional than to say goodbye to the top division with a victory at home and accompanied by their fans who despite all the nights in which the team was defeated, However, the story that seemed to be able to close with an emotional farewell could have another outcome as Liverpool is fighting to complete the great comeback and sneak into the UEFA Champions League qualification places at the last minute, but for that they will have to collect the three points at St Mary's Stadium and send the Saints off with a defeat that will sink them even deeper in their return to the Championship. Finally, the second part of the 22/23 season will demand a lot from the teams as those who play in several competitions will have a very tight schedule, full of physical wear and tear and with few days of rest to close the season in May, so it will be a big factor to rotate the starting squads in order to avoid any injury to the players. 

The Southampton vs Liverpool match will be played at St Mary’s Stadium, in Southampton, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 11:30 am ET.
