Match Stats

Southampton's difficult December led to Russell Martin's dismissal after a heavy 5-0 loss to Tottenham on Sunday, leaving them nine points from safety at the bottom of the Premier League. Despite struggling in the league, Martin's team performed well in the EFL Cup, reaching the quarter-finals after wins over Cardiff City, Everton (on penalties), and Stoke City. Now, under new management, they aim to reach their second semi-final in three seasons.

They face defending champions Liverpool, who are also Premier League leaders and 10-time EFL Cup winners. Under Arne Slot, Liverpool have breezed through the competition, beating West Ham and Brighton despite heavy rotation. However, they are on a two-game winless streak in the league, following a 2-2 draw with Fulham after going down to 10 men, and successive draws have allowed Chelsea to close the gap.
