Good afternoon and welcome to the ECHO's live coverage of Liverpool's clash with Southampton in the Premier League.

On paper, this should be the Reds' easiest game of the Premier League season.

The title is virtually secured after all and Saints are in the running to be one of the worst Premier League teams in history.



Stupid booking, however.

Southampton aim jibe at Liverpool after goal

"How sh*t must you be?

We're winning away," sing the Southampton supporters housed in the Anfield Road end.

Kudos to Southampton

Fair play to Southampton, they are certainly not playing like a team that has won just two Premier League games all season.

Huge roar from the Kop

"Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool!"

The Kop roars into life after a spell of Southampton pressure.

Ian Doyle

So poor

Liverpool have been quite bad for much of the first half.

Slot, watching from the stands, will not be impressed.
