Southampton will finish bottom of the Premier League but hope to go out on a high when they host fifth-placed Liverpool. The Saints have been in the Premier League for 11 seasons but they will be in the Championship next season. They are currently managed by Ruben Selles but he won't be in charge after this game with Russell Martin expected to replace him. Southampton haven't done much in their recent games to leave any happy memories of this season for their fans. With five straight losses they have been a sitting duck for most opponents. In fact, Southampton have picked up just a single point from their last nine league matches. Home form hasn't been any better with four straight defeats coming into this final game of the season.

Liverpool's late top-four dash ended after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Aston Villa. Manchester United's 4-1 win over Chelsea on Thursday saw them without Champions League football next season. Instead, they'll be in the Europa League and will finish fifth in the table. They are unlikely to let down the chance to extend their recent dominance. Liverpool have won ten of their last 11 Premier League matches against Southampton and would be keen to extend that run. The visitors have also improved their recent away record with three straight wins. Those wins at Leeds, West Ham and Leicester have seen them score 11 goals, so Liverpool arrive here in good scoring form.
