The sun is shining and spirits are high around Anfield as Liverpool look to get a win against struggling Ipswich this afternoon to move nine points clear at the top, should Arsenal slip up at Wolves and Nottingham Forest lost at Bournemouth.

The positive mood among the home fans is in contrast to how some of the Ipswich fans I overheard were feeling as they made their way to the stadium from the train station earlier, particularly with this game against the league leaders coming after a 6-0 home thrashing by Manchester City.

One supporter said his wife had gone to look round the cathedrals and museums while he went to the match.

"I suppose I could join her if I end up leaving at half-time like I did in the City game!" he said.

Southampton's Paul Onuachu has been rewarded for his goal against Nottingham Forest last time out with a start against Newcastle at St Mary's this afternoon.

Cameron Archer drops to the bench, while Aaron Ramsdale is not involved. Alex McCarthy will start between the sticks for the Saints.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek (c), Manning, Bree, Aribo, Ugochukwu, Fernandes, Armstrong, Fernandes, Onuachu.

Subs: Lumley, Downes, Smallbone, Lallana, Wiood, Sugawara, Archer, Fraser, Bella-Kotchap.

Newcastle make one change to the side that lost 4-1 against Bournemouth last week, with Sven Botman replaced by Fabian Schar.

Nick Pope is fit enough for the bench, while Miguel Almiron - subject of transfer interest from MLS side Atlanta United - is also among the substitutes on the south coast.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall, Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton, Murphy, Isak, Gordon.

Subs: Pope, Trippier, Botman, Osula, Almiron, Kelly, Willock, Longstaff, Miley.
