(VIDEO) Koumas made history with goal against Southampton, surpassing Fowler

Liverpool hosts Southampton this Wednesday for the FA Cup Matchday 5. They are playing for a place in the quarterfinals of the traditional English tournament. Liverpool is living its last months with Jürgen Klopp on the bench. The Reds will try to give another joy to the German coach, who has already announced that he will not remain at the club after the end of the 2023-2024 season.

Klopp's team arrives to the FA Cup match in high spirits: last Sunday they defeated Chelsea 1-0 in the League Cup at Wembley. The only goal of the match was scored by Virgil van Dijk. Liverpool are top of the Premier League, one point ahead of Manchester City, and have qualified for the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League.

Injuries are undoubtedly the main stumbling block for Klopp and Liverpool. In the game against Chelsea, the German coach had to rely on a number of 18 and 19-year-olds from the youth team, including McConnell, Clark and Danns. In addition to the ten players who missed that game, including Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai, Gravenberch went off injured in the first half after a tackle by Moises Caicedo and Wataru Endo left Wembley with a protective boot on his right ankle.
