Southampton-Liverpool betting preview
This is a crucial match for Liverpool. They will have to win for keeping their title challenge intact. Southampton is not a pushover anymore. In fact, the only time Liverpool lost at Anfield in this season’s EPL was against the Saints. The Reds seek revenge at the nobly titled Friends Provident St Mary's Stadium at Southampton.
Liverpool are fourth in the premier league four points below Chelsea. Southampton have squandered a great start to the season to find themselves at the ninth position from a lofty early-season third position. They have a good young side, and the future looks good for them.
However, the present – against an ominous-looking Liverpool attack – does not look that rosy. Liverpool have become the highest scorer of the league after an entertaining 4-3 win over Swansea. The defence is their only worry. Their attack has dismantled almost all opponents. Southampton are the only team remaining in the league that have not conceded a Liverpool goal.
Southampton-Liverpool H2H statistics
Liverpool have a distinct overall H2H advantage of 35-20. As one might guess, most of these wins had come in the glory years of the Merseysiders. The recent record is in favour of the Saints, who have won four of the last six matches against the Reds.
Southampton-Liverpool Player news
The match will be decided on how the Liverpool attack is going to fare against the Southampton defence. It is almost sure that Liverpool will concede. Southampton’s Jay Rodriguez, Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana are too good players to leave defensive howlers – which has become a trademark of the makeshift Liverpool defence – unpunished. The Liverpool fans should gleefully welcome the imminent arrival of Mamadou Sakho from injury.
The good thing for Liverpool is that Luis Suárez, who has been undergoing a barren spell of late, and Daniel Sturridge can outscore the opponents, regardless of how many their defence concedes.
