Virgil Van Dijk Returns Home as Southampthon Play Host to Liverpool
Liverpool will be on their way to the South Coast where they will lock horns with Southampton.

Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool coach, jokingly suggested for the relocation of the club’s scouting department to St. Marys because of the number of players that Liverpool has bought from Southampton. Virgil Van Dijk is the sixth player signed from the club so far. And trust me, the £75m Dutchman is likely to be received back home with so much hostilities, going by the manner and circumstance which lead to his exit.
On the other hand, Adam Lallana who was given his marching orders in a mid week game for the under-23 side will find a place in the bench to pitch his tent.
Southampton, after their resounding win last week at West-Brom, will likely parade an unchanged team that won last week—a six-pointer at West-Brom—and are likely to be unchanged with Mauricio Pellegrino, a former Liverpool defender himself, conscious of the need to back that up with another three points as five of their next six league games are away from home.
