Ryan Bertrand is very keen to have a duel with Mohamed Salah and wants to use his weakness to pile misery on Liverpool.
Three wins in the last four matches have shifted the momentum towards Southampton and they are currently favourites to escape the relegation. The Saints are currently five points clear of the drop zone but the danger of getting demoted is still looming over their head.
Since Ralph Hasenhuttl took the charge the Saints have looked completely a different unit and Jurgen Klopp does have a very tough task to cut out. The Reds are closing on the Premier League title and need to win this match to keep the pressure on table toppers Manchester City.
Bertrand said, “It’s always good to play against the best players. That is why you play and it’s the ultimate aim.
“I won’t change my preparations. I’m just looking forward to seeing his strengths and seeing his weaknesses and trying to nullify some and exploiting the others.”
“It’s important for both teams
“They are fighting for the Premier League with a chance to create history for their first title in so long.
“Equally we need the points and are fighting for different reasons. It should be a nice competitive game and I’m really looking forward to it.”
