Crucial players
Steve Cooper’s side will be hoping their top goalscorer can produce some magic against the Saints on Monday night.
Brennan Johnson has registered ten goal contributions in the Premier League this season, scoring eight and assisting two. The Reds will be hoping the Welshman will stay no matter the outcome this season after he signed a four-year deal in the Summer of 2022.
Southampton will be relying on James Ward-Prowse and his delivery from dead-ball situations to get the three points on Monday night. The Englishman has scored 17 free kicks in the premier league, second behind only David Beckham (18). Ward Prowse has nine goal contributions this season, scoring seven and assisting two.
