Prediction

  • After finally picking up their first league victory of the season against Everton, Southampton then handed Wolves their first three points before the international break.
  • The Saints have since been dealt substantial injury blows in the form of Aaron Ramsdale and Jan Bednarek, both of whom look set to miss a number of weeks.
  • On the other hand, things could not be going much better for Liverpool under Arne Slot, with the Reds sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League and Champions League standings.
  • The visitors head to the south coast off the back of four consecutive wins, while they have not lost to Southampton since January 2021.
  • Expect Liverpool to make light work of the Saints here.
