Jamie Carragher predicts Jurgen Klopp's approach as Liverpool prepare to face Southampton

Jurgen Klopp won't risk fielding semi-fit players against Southampton on Tuesday evening, even with the Premier League title on the line, according to Jamie Carragher.

The Reds head to the south coast knowing that only a victory will give them the chance to snatch the title away from Manchester City on the final day of the season. But with Klopp having to substitute big names stars such as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk during Saturday's FA Cup final win against Chelsea, Sky Sports pundit Carragher does not see the German manager risking his key men with the Champions League final on the horizon.

Speaking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football programme, Carragher said: "I don’t think Klopp will pick anyone where there’s a risk of injury. I know Man City dropped points and it opens the door slightly but I’d back that, I’d be surprised to see Salah, Van Dijk playing. We talk about the league, Champions League and what’s more important - Liverpool have got more chance of winning the Champions League.
