Ralph Hasenhuttl described Liverpool’s visit as Southampton’s Champions League final, a big billing that will be music to the ears of Pep Guardiola.
Hasenhuttl has promised Southampton will not be handing out any gifts when they host Liverpool in a pivotal game in the Premier League title race.
Leaders Manchester City will be sweating on the result of tonight’s St Mary’s meeting after drawing at West Ham on Sunday to keep second-placed Liverpool’s hopes alive.
But City should have no concerns about Southampton’s determination in their final home game of the season even though they are now all but safe from relegation.
