SOUNDBITE: Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool manager: on Southampton:
"Alan (Pardew) lost his job, he did an excellent job, Nigel Adkins brought in and got a couple of promotions and brought in some terrific players and really the core of that team is still there. What they've done is they've evolved with the good coaching that he (Pochettino) brings into the squad and also the natural improvement of the players and when you have that, you have a very good team and they've done very well, so, very much an established Premier League team now and as I said, we know it will be a difficult game for us."
