Sunday sport: Liverpool with chance to go eight points clear, Munster club football semi-finals

Soccer

Liverpool manager Arne Slot insists they will be taking nothing for granted when they travel to Southampton in the Premier League this afternoon.

It is top versus bottom – with the Merseysiders knowing a win would take them eight points clear at the summit.

Despite their position in the table, Slot says the Saints are a very capable side.

Kick off is at 2pm.

From half four, Manchester United began life under new manager Ruben Amorim.

He is in charge for the first time for their away fixture against Ipswich Town.
