Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Premier League clash between Southampton and Liverpool. The match sees Virgil van Dijk return to St Mary's for the first time since he made his protracted move to Merseyside in January. Jurgen Klopp's men will be hoping to pick up a win which would see them move back above third-placed Tottenham, while the Saints are just a point above the drop zone and need a victory to maintain their recent good form. Kick off 16.30 GMT.

28'
Guido Carrillo meets Ward Prowse's devilish delivery from the right with a firm header, but it's too close to Karius.
26'
Mane turns well onto a pass from Robertson but lashes a 25-yard drive off target.
25'
Stephens challenges Firmino in the area. He has his hands on the Brazilian who goes to ground theatrically. The referee waves away the appeal, but it was certainly risky from the Saints defender.
24'
STAT: Saints have only won on three occasions at home in the league this term against West Brom, West Ham and Everton.
22'
POSSESSION: Saints 60 per cent - Liverpool 40 per cent.
21'
A comedy moment from Firmino. Hoedt clears Robertson's searching cross towards the left byline. The Brazilian chases and should leave it for a corner, but stumbles attempting to trap it, kicks it against the flag and out for a goal kick. Needless to say, the Saints fans enjoy the moment!
20'
Southampton have been the more adventurous. Liverpool seemingly content to allow them to attack and then counter at pace.
18'
SUPER SAVE! Karius comes to Liverpool's rescue. Højbjerg held off Robertson to collect Romeu's angled pass and lash a close range shot at goal that the stopper brilliantly blocked.

17'
Stephens picks up a loose ball 35 yards out and powers forward before lashing well wide of Karius' right-hand post.
16'
Southampton have reacted well to going behind, but have so far lacked quality in the attacking third.
15'
Great stat.

Boos for van Dijk every time he touches the ball. Not exactly unexpected!

10'
Wijnaldum bursts into the box from deep but can't quite latch onto a probing high ball from Alexander-Arnold.

The Ox engineers some space on the left but fires in a tame shot from the edge of the box that Alex McCarthy is equal to.
7'
That was Firmino's 20th in all competitions and his 12th in the league. He now has 13 in his last 15 starts.
6'
GOAL! Firmino fires a clinical finish into the bottom corner after Salah seized upon a big error from Hoedt and rolled it into the Brazilian's path.

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg somehow wins a corner off Andrew Robertson, who tried but failed to let the ball run out next to the left byline. Fortunately for the left box, Liverpool repel the first delivery, with van Dijk mopping up the second with a smart header back to Karius.
