Iago Aspas has replaced Philippe Coutinho in the Liverpool starting lineup for the visit of Southampton to Anfield in the Premier League today.

Coutinho has been ruled out of action due to a shoulder injury and Aspas has been drafted in to provide support for striker Daniel Sturridge.

Daniel Agger also returns for the hosts in a defence that has summer signings Mamadou Sakho and Kolo Toure.

Southampton make the trip to Merseyside with an unchanged side, but the Saints have been boosted by the return of Jack Cork to the bench.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Toure, Sakho, Agger, Skrtel, Lucas, Henderson, Gerrard, Aspas, Moses, Sturridge

Southampton: Boruc, Clyne, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Lallana, Rodriguez, Lambert, Osvaldo
