Liverpool attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho is set to be fit for the Reds' clash against Southampton on Sunday.

Liverpool were handed a huge injury scare when Philippe Coutinho had to be forced off early on during their clash against Watford at Vicarage Road on Monday night and it was feared that the Brazilian star could be ruled out for a significant period as a result.

As a huge relief for the fans though, it has been revealed that Coutinho only suffered a dead leg and could well be available to start when Liverpool square off against Southampton at Anfield this weekend.
