      <title>Liverpool assess Salah, Van Dijk ahead of Southampton clash</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LONDON: Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool were assessing the fitness of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk as they prepare for their must-win Premier League match against Southampton on Tuesday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The quadruple-chasing Reds were given fresh hope they could pip Manchester City to the title when Pep Guardiola’s team dropped two points in a 2-2 draw at West Ham on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Defending champions City, with one game remaining, are four points clear at the top of the table with a significantly better goal difference than their rivals, who have two games left.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Liverpool beat Chelsea on penalties in the FA Cup final at the weekend to complete the second leg of a potential quadruple.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Klopp is waiting to find out the extent of injuries to top-scorer Salah and defensive talisman Van Dijk, who were both forced off at Wembley on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Defender Andy Robertson was also taken off in the latter stages due to cramp, while Klopp confirmed that Fabinho would not be involved at Southampton after suffering a muscle injury at Aston Villa last week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This process has not finished yet because we only played the 120 minutes two days ago,” Klopp told reporters on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“So when the boys arrive today I have to make a lot of decisions. Then we will line up a team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What I can promise and definitely say is we will line up a team only for one reason – to try to win the game at Southampton, as difficult as it is, because that obviously is the job to do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We have to see who is able to help. The 30 extra minutes (at Wembley) made a big difference, but we have to see.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Liverpool, who face Real Madrid in the Champions League final later this month, can cut City’s lead to a single point with victory at St Mary’s, but Klopp does not expect Guardiola’s side to slip up again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;City host Aston Villa next Sunday while Liverpool play Wolves at Anfield.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I don’t know the last time City dropped points two games in a row and Villa have to play midweek,” said Klopp. “I don’t expect City to drop points there.”&lt;/p&gt;
