Southampton v Liverpool Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Southampton v Liverpool Match Preview
Arne Slot has taken to England’s top flight like a duck to water, steering Liverpool to nine wins from his first 11 games in charge.
Southampton, on the other hand, might be cursing their luck as they host the league leaders sitting at the foot of the table, but four points mustered from 11 games tells its own story.
Liverpool will be taking things one game at a time, but three points is a must given the tough-looking set of fixtures coming up.
It remains to be seen whether Alisson will oust Caoimhin Kelleher between the sticks given Kelleher has performed so adeptly, and Trent Alexander-Arnold will be given a fitness test in the run-up to kick-off.
Nothing can be taken for granted, but ahead of this game, I have provided some Southampton v Liverpool predictions for you to gorge on.
Reds to answer all the right questions
Slot’s honeymoon period has been prolonged in a way few would have envisaged before the start of the campaign, but he seems unfazed.
Should his side overcome the Saints, he will equal Guus Hiddink and Carlo Ancelotti (both Chelsea) to become the joint-fastest manager to chalk up 10 wins from the start of a Premier League career.
Liverpool weren’t on the bingo cards for the title, but they are sitting pretty at the top, and while Arsenal may seem out of it, cast your mind back to the double-winning campaign for a second (1997/98) when they trailed Manchester United by 13 points at one stage before walking off with the title.
Liverpool’s run will pose a serious test of their title credentials as they’ve got Newcastle and Manchester City on the horizon along with the small matter of a Merseyside Derby against Everton.
When these sides last met, Southampton and Liverpool played out an eight-goal thriller in a 4-4 draw. The Saints had a two-goal lead, but two goals inside the space of a minute in the second half from Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota ensured the Reds didn’t leave empty-handed.
Remarkably, Liverpool have conceded just six times this term, and while the Saints will throw everything at this, the visitors should answer all the questions.
However, I don’t expect Liverpool’s defence to be breached and I’m drawn to Liverpool to win to nil. I’ve located a price of 5/4 with Paddy Power should you wish to follow up.
Mohamed Salah to weave his magic once again
Mohamed Salah has once again proved to be the Reds’ main talisman, and he’s netted eight times in the league this term.
Currently, eighth on the all-time Premier League goalscorer list (165 and counting), he’s within striking distance of those in sixth and seventh (Frank Lampard and Thierry Henry).
Intriguingly, Salah has scored and assisted in a game 35 times in the Premier League, including four this season.
He’s just one short of Wayne Rooney’s 36-game record, and Salah loves facing Southampton.
He’s had 11 goal involvements (seven goals and four assists) in 11 league appearances against Southampton, and he could add to that record this weekend.
I’m drawn to a scorer special for my second pick, and Salah to score from outside the box with a trademark left-footed strike. An arguably long price of 16/1 is trading at bet365 for that prediction.
