Premier League result: Liverpool win at Southampton as Jurgen Klopp’s side move to within a point of Manchester City ahead of season finale

Minamino levels matters with a thumping strike that fizzes in at the near post after Jota had touched Gomez's cross into his path.

Replays suggest there may have been a foul on Jota prior to Redmond's run and finish.

Minamino spins on to Milner's pass but sees his quick shot easily smothered by McCarthy.

Redmond's solo goal provides a twist to the title race in the early stages of this contest.

Manchester City will be crowned champions tonight.

Can this much-changed Liverpool side respond?

They think they have - but Firmino's header from a superb Tsimikas free-kick is rightly ruled out for offside.

Milner, Minamino and Firmino combine brilliantly to almost free Jota in the box, but the Saints are alive to the danger and manage to deny the forward a shot at goal.

Redmond escapes down the left. He cuts inside past two before flashing a deflected right-foot shot into the far corner of Alisson's net.

Klopp is furious on the touchline. He thought there was a foul in the build up.

The hosts spring forward down the right. Broja is one on one with Matip and charges into the box. He's got the speed but the angle is tight and he can't squeeze his low cross-shot beyond the advancing Alisson.

The Reds' big defender is on the deck clutching his face after trying to attack a left-wing corner for the visitors.

On comes the physio to check him over.

It looks like he'll be fine.

Elliott's cut back from the right sits nicely for Milner to let fly from 25 yards but his first-time strike is blocked. It didn't look like it was on target anyway.

Liverpool are stroking the ball about trying to get some rhythm. It's not surprising given the number of changes to their team.

As a result, very little has happened so far.

At Southampton: Liverpool 16 wins, Saints 20 wins, draws 10.

Southampton get us underway.

We are five minutes from kick off.

Liverpool have won 18 of 19 games this term against sides currently in the bottom half of the table. They only dropped points in a 3-3 draw at Brentford in September.

“We have another final at Southampton. And if we do our stuff, we have another final on Sunday. That's it for us. It's game by game, all the players be available for the manager and it's about finals now. What I've learned with all those years is the hate of losing is the worst feeling we can have, so you have to avoid that feeling.”
