    Liverpool beat Saints to keep title race alive

    Can Hasenhuttl rock Reds?

    Southampton v Liverpool (19:45 BST)

    Phil McNulty

    BBC Sport chief football writer at St. Mary's Stadium

    Ralph Hasenhuttl has proved to be an immensely popular figure at Southampton but the manager came under fire from Saints fans during their last game, a defeat at Brentford.

    Supporters chanted "Getting Sacked In The Morning" in the first signs of serious unrest, so it is a big night for Southampton and Liverpool.

    Hasenhuttl will want his Southampton side to bounce back which will, of course, damage Liverpool's title chances as they chase leaders Manchester City.
