She said the lift in the housing market was likely behind the rise in those thinking its a good time to buy a major household item, which in turn would support the retail sector.

Minamino poised for first league start – Predicting the Liverpool lineup vs. Southampton

Jurgen Klopp should make at least one change as Liverpool take on Southampton, with the absence of Sadio Mane still the key area of focus. The Reds host Ralph Hasenhuttl’s vastly improved Saints on Saturday afternoon, in their last game before a much-needed winter break. There are signs of fatigue throughout Klopp’s squad having passed the midway point of the campaign, but that has so far not affected their form, with 23 wins from 24 in the Premier League.

This gives the manager plenty of scope for change, though few should be expected this weekend.
