Still Jurgen Klopp strides around in his technical area. A ball into the box aiming for Mohamed Salah is overhit.

This is much better from Southampton since the break and Sofiane Boufal gets Liverpool running towards their own goal. They retreat and retreat until he is 12 yards out. He cuts onto his right peg and only a fine Dejan Lovren block denies him.

Simon Mignolet has to be quick off his line as Shane Long chases a Steven Davis ball through the back four. He boots clear...

Mohamed Salah tees up Sadio Mane who has a swing from 20 yards... blocked. Southampton clear and Shane Long wins a free-kick on the halfway line. The away side will have to really open up if they are to have any hope here.

They take a throw in which lands in the box. Dusan Tadic sets Sofiane Boufal and he slams one over the bar.

This gentleman was among the goals when Liverpool recorded their biggest ever Premier League win, thrashing Southampton 7-1 at Anfield in 1999.

Carragher celebrated wildly after scoring his second goal in three seasons as a pro. Little did he know that in the following 14 seasons he'd manage just three more in all competitions.

Liverpool will attack the Kop in this second period. Can they turn on the charm for their fans in the second period and rack up a few goals? Remember they didn't score once in four meetings with Southampton last season.

Southampton have only scored twice in a game on two occasions this season...

As you will likely know, Jurgen Klopp took himself into hospital this week after feeling unwell on Wednesday but he left and was seen taking training the next day.

"I feel really good," he said. "I am 50 now - maybe I need to get used to it but I've been twice already in a British hospital.

"The NHS is not as bad as you think. I am not ill, which is kind of good news.

"You should not experience as a person in public to go to a hospital. I had people shouting 'Klopp is in hospital, did you see him?"

No doubt Jurgen will be feeling a lot better now.

Mohamed Salah is looking like a bargain at around £34m.

As our friends at Opta tell us, no one in the Premier League is hitting the net more.

Philippe Coutinho has touched the ball 45 times for Liverpool, only Jordan Henderson (50) has more. Surely you can't let Coutinho see that much ball and expect to hold out. His threaded pass for Liverpool's second perhaps evidence of that.

Liverpool look comfortable. Southampton with a lot to do in the second-half. Just one shot in the first half for them.

Mohamed Salah the difference.

His first a gorgeous curler, the second a simple finish from a fine Philippe Coutinho pass.

Liverpool heading for three league wins in a row.

We will have a couple of added minutes. This has not been scintilating from Liverpool but it's been a job well done to say the least. They play a bit of keep ball despite one fan screaming "get it in the box". Philippe Coutinho looks for Roberto Firmino but Virgil van Dijk chases into his box to clear.

Dejan Lovren is in the book for a foul and from the consequent free-kick Ryan Bertrand almost gets Southampton back into it. His left-foot curler from a full 35 yards sees Simon Mignolet dive as the ball sails narrowly wide of the top corner.

A brief shake of the head by Jurgen Klopp on the touchline as play briefly stops. Maybe he is not too keen on what he has seen since the goal.

Sadio Mane gets on the ball down the left but Cedric Soares out-hustles him well to clear... for now... Liverpool come again...

The away side have been much better since the goal. Cedric Soares shows lovely feat on the dead ball line to turn cleverly and cross. It's right on top of Simon Mignolet which is never a good thing for Liverpool fans and the keeper does well to punch clear under pressure from Sofiane Boufal.

Graham Green: What was Tadic thinking trying to weave through the Liverpool attackers so close to his own goal? It’s hard enough to win at Anfield without brain freezes like that.

Hassan Anfield: By far Mo Salah is the best signing of the decade.

Ryan Bertrand gets forward on the overlap as Southampton respond with a little fight but Trent Alexander-Arnold matches him for pace and wins the battle. Goal kick.

Mo Salah has started his Liverpool career brilliantly - he looks great. And the Anfield crowd are lapping it up. He is on fire!
