Liverpool are scheduled to play Southampton in their third-round Carabao Cup tie tonight at Anfield on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, with kick-off at 8 p.m. BST 2.30 p.m. ET and 11.30 a.m. PT.
Manager, Arne Slot, is expected to make changes to his starting XI for tonight’s Carabao Cup tie, which will see Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch all rested following a very busy schedule.
Midfielder Stefan Bajcetic is out with a hamstring injury, so Jayden Danns, Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha are expected to feature as Slot tries to balance rotation with competition as Liverpool look to progress in the competition.
Southampton arrive at Anfield under Will Still, who are struggling in the Championship this season. Currently, they find themselves in 19th place after six matches, and suffered a 3–1 defeat at Hull City in their most recent outing. Their form in the Carabao Cup has been a lot better, winning their first two rounds against Northampton and Norwich.
Samuel Edozie and Welington are unavailable, but Flynn Downes should recover from illness, which leaves Still with decisions to make with his side will hope to make an impression against top-level opposition.
Liverpool’s attack is in fine form in the early phase of the season, scoring 14 goals in six Premier League matches, but they have been susceptible defensively.
For the Saints, it will be an opportunity to challenge themselves and even cause an upset, and Liverpool themselves will want to feel their way into a balance between rotation and momentum in all competitions.

Liverpool has the upper hand in their historical games against Southampton, having claimed the majority of their 42 meetings to date, including six straight wins recently.
Admittedly, some great players have been rested, but with their attack and home ground advantage, a 3–0 or 3–1 scoreline seems the most obvious expectation for Liverpool.
