Ivan Juric, manager of Southampton, feels Liverpool should have been given a penalty in the second half of their 3-1 loss at Anfield on Saturday. Will Smallbone gave the Saints an unexpected lead in stoppage time of the first half, but Darin Nunez quickly erased the lead. Mo Salah scored two penalty penalties in the second half to give Liverpool the victory, but Juric thought the first one was unfair. There didn't appear to be much in the area as Smallbone and Nunez collided, but referee Lewis Smith gave the penalty. Juric, the Southampton manager, is furious at Liverpool's penalty call.

RB Leipzig has only won one of their last seven Bundesliga games, allowing Freiburg and Mainz to pass the Saxony club in the race for the final Champions League spot with 11 games remaining.

Is time running out for Marco Rose and RB Leipzig?
If Leipzig is eliminated from the Pokal on Wednesday night, questions will undoubtedly be raised. Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß has been identified as a possible replacement for Rose, as the latter's future at Red Bull becomes less certain.Leipzig enters their game against Wolfsburg after a 2-2 draw against Heidenheim in the Bundesliga on Sunday, but an underwhelming performance saw the Saxony club lead 2-0 inside 13 minutes before Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko scored either side of the break to secure a point for Rose's side.
