It's all good news around Anfield today.
Wednesday morning brought news of
Philippe Coutinho's new five-year deal with Liverpool, welcome news for all Reds fans, while Jurgen Klopp has given supporters yet another reason to smile with his teamsheet for his side's EFL Cup semi-final second leg at home to Southampton.
Liverpool are chasing a 1-0 deficit, having suffered defeat at St. Mary's in the first leg a fortnight ago and cannot afford to concede an away goal to Claude Puel's men.
So it will provide many a sigh of relief for fans to see arguably Liverpool's most reliable defender in the back four for tonight's clash.
Joel Matip, after an injury and a lengthy dispute involving the Cameroon Football Federation, Fifa and his club, has returned to Klopp's defence.

Matip came on as a late substitute during Liverpool's embarrassing home defeat to Swansea on Saturday but he will feature from the outset this evening as he lines out alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dejan Lovren and James Milner.
And this lot were certainly happy to see him back.
