Teams: £61.5m Liverpool pair remain on bench, Man Utd target starts for Southampton
JURGEN KLOPP has kept Liverpool forwards Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino on the bench for today's visit of Southampton.
Liverpool v Southampton - Premier League preview
The summer signings returned from hamstring and back injuries, respectively, in the midweek draw to Rubin Kazan, but aren't fit enough to start against the Saints.
Their absence means striker Divock Origi continues up front with Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana sitting just behind.
Klopp's only change sees Lucas Leiva replace Joe Allen in midfield.
Meanwhile, Ronald Koeman makes two changes to Southampton's XI with Maarten Stekelenburg and Jordy Clasie coming in for Kelvin Davis and James Ward-Prowse.
