Premier League table-toppers Liverpool will aim to keep their treble dreams alive when they face Southampton this Wednesday in an EFL Cup quarter final clash.
Arne Slot's side come into this match on the back of a 2-2 draw against Fulham in the Premier League.
Southampton, on the other hand, will be under interim management for this clash, with Russell Martin sacked after the team copped an embarrassing 5-0 blow from Tottenham Hotspurs on Sunday night.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Gomez; Mac Allister, Endo, Jones; Elliott, Gakpo, Nunez
Southampton go into the game without a permanent manager having sacked Russell Martin this week. Martin led Saints to promotion to the Premier League but had taken just five points from 16 league games when the axe fell.
Former Denmark boss Kasper Hjulmand has emerged as a contender to replace Martin. He is currently unemployed after leaving his position as Danish national team manager meaning he is free to take over as soon as possible.
This match can be streamed online via various platforms such as Sky Go UK and Paramount+ in the US . Given both teams' current form and historical context, predictions lean heavily toward a Liverpool victory; Sportskeeda forecasts a scoreline of 3-1 in favor of the Merseyside club . As such, fans can expect an intense battle as Southampton seeks redemption against their formidable opponents.
