Chris Sutton predicts the Liverpool FA Cup winner Klopp will be gluttonous ahead of the Saints match.

In his prediction, Chris Sutton believes that Jurgen Klopp won’t back down from his quest of a possible quadruple in his final season at the club when Liverpool plays Southampton at Anfield in the FA Cup fifth round on Wednesday night.

After defeating Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, the Reds have already won one domestic trophy. However, a long injury list has made their task more difficult when the promotion-chasing Saints pay them a visit.

The former Blackburn striker believes that LFC will still have the talent and drive to win against Russell Martin’s club even though they are without a number of players and have a busy schedule of games.

According to Sutton’s predictions for BBC Sport’s FA Cup fifth round, Southampton will defeat Liverpool 3-1. He stated, “They’ve hit a bit of a sticky patch, but they’re still going to play the same way, and be open and expansive.”

“They will give Liverpool plenty of space to play, and the fact that it’s at Anfield should benefit Jurgen Klopp’s team as well, regardless of whether he brings the kids along like he did at Wembley.

“We don’t know if Liverpool’s big guns will return after missing the Carabao Cup final, but we do know that they are a trophy-hungry team.” In fact, in his last season leading the Reds, Klopp will be gluttonous and want to win everything.

“Saints are going to be fearless, but Liverpool is incredibly skilled at pressing teams.” That most likely will make a difference.

Although it may not seem like the best time for Liverpool to play Southampton given their current injury crisis and demanding schedule, they may be playing at the right time.

Prior to last week, the Saints enjoyed a club record 25 games without a loss. However, since that extraordinary run came to an end, they have lost three of their last four games. Hull’s 2-1 victory at St Mary’s last week was partially caused by Fabio Carvalho, who scored for the Tigers.

It’s also possible that Martin switches around his lineup to focus on their pursuit of automatic promotion from the Championship, giving the south coast squad a bit of a free pass for their FA Cup matchup at Anfield.

When Sutton says that Klopp will be itching to leave Liverpool with as many trophies as possible this season, he couldn’t be more right. The Reds proved again on Sunday that they can overcome hardship and succeed because of their amazing mindset.

Despite their recent struggles, Southampton will be difficult to beat, but if the home team plays to their best tomorrow night, they should win.

More news……

Tottenham is in the lead to sign a target from Liverpool.

Teun Koopmeiners is a midfield player, and Tottenham has apparently been interested in bringing the Dutch international to North London.

Spurs have failed to sustain their performances after an amazing start to the season under new manager Ange Postecoglou, as they have dealt with multiple injuries to important players.

Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin were added in the January transfer window to increase the depth of their squad, but there will undoubtedly be more additions in the summer.

The top player on that list is Koopmeiners, a midfielder for Atalanta who has drawn interest from multiple Premier League teams.

Spurs and Liverpool are in the “front row” for the 25-year-old, according to a report from the Italian publication Calciomercato.

However, the article claims that Atalanta will be looking to pay the “best possible price,” using Rasmus Hojlund’s high-profile transfer to Manchester United as an example of a prospective fee. As a result, he might not come cheap.

This season, Spurs’ midfield has been the key to their success; James Maddison, a recent addition, has chemistry with Yves Bissouma, Papa Matar Sarr, and Rodrigo Bentancur when healthy.

Koopmeiners’ addition to this well-established midfield will enable them to contend on all fronts.

They will be more competitive on all fronts in the upcoming season with Koopmeiners joining this already solid midfield, especially if they manage to secure Champions League football.
