    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp (miraculously back in the room) also said there is a sign of respect in the way Southampton have played against them in the past:

    “Against us they’re a footballing side, against us they defend pretty deep. Against us, I think that’s a sign of respect."

    In the first leg, Klopp said both sides were frustrated:

    "They had counter-attack, really clear moments, where they had chances. For us, 1-0, 0-0 is no different. Still all to play for.”

    (Now he really has gone... *eye roll emoji*)

    Claude Puel is asked whether he has thought about what it would mean to follow Lawrie McMenemy (1976) and Gordon Strachan (2003) in leading a Southampton team to a cup final.

    Claude's not having any of it.

    "It will be a mistake to think about a final and dream of Wembley. It's just one leg so far," he says.

    Asked whether he will select a strong team for the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final against Liverpool, he replies: "We will start with a good team, like every game.

    "We have some problems with injuries and don't know the result at the moment with Davis and Virgil. We will have a good team and a strong team."

    "We are in a situation where it is not sufficient to stay with one goal up - it will be important to score a goal away.

    "Liverpool will be the favourite but it's football - all is possible."
