EX-Saint Virgil van Dijk took his first steps around Anfield today after completing his £75 million move to Liverpool.
The centre-back, who became the world's most expensive defender on Wednesday, will watch his new team-mates from the stands as they face-off with Leicester this afternoon.
Saints meanwhile face a tough trip to Old Trafford tonight, where they will take-on Jose Mourinho's Manchester United.
United are currently unbeaten in the Premier League in their last four games.
But they go into the match off the back of two draws over the Christmas period, including a 2-2 home draw at home to Burnley.
Saints meanwhile will be looking to bounce back after a 5-2 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley.
Keep up-to-date without proceedings throughout the day on our website, where we will have a live blog this afternoon.
