⭐ Southampton v Liverpool Best Bets
Mohamed Salah looks well placed to add to his goal tally for the season at St Mary’s. The Liverpool talisman has eight goals in 11 Premier League appearances this season. He has scored in each of his previous four top-flight outings. Salah will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing off against a Southampton side that have failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 of their 11 league games this season.
👕 Southampton v Liverpool Predicted XI
🔍 Southampton v Liverpool Players to Watch
🔴 Kyle Walker-Peters
Kyle Walker-Peters looks like a strong contender to commit at least one foul at 1.62. The Southampton right back has committed a minimum of one foul in six of his nine Premier League appearances this season, including in four of his last five. The Saints defender should have his work cut out here with Luis Diaz. The Liverpool forward has drawn a combined total of 10 fouls across his 11 Premier League outings this season.
⚪ Curtis Jones
Curtis Jones is enjoying a breakout season for Liverpool and he looks worth backing to be fouled at least once. The 23-year-old midfielder’s all-action performances have resulted in him racking up plenty of free-kicks for the Reds this season. In fact, Jones has been fouled at least once in each of his last six Premier League appearances for Liverpool. He also earned England three free-kicks across his two appearances in the Nations League last week.

💻 Southampton v Liverpool Form and Tactics
Southampton were left propping up the Premier League table following their 2-0 defeat to Wolves. While Russell Martin’s men dominated possession (71%) at Molineux, they lacked a cutting edge in the final third. The Saints posted a lowly xG return of just 0.66 and failed to hit the target with each of their nine efforts on goal. That has been a recurring theme for shot-shy Southampton this season, who are the lowest-scoring side in the division, striking just seven times thus far.
Southampton have been one of the most ill-disciplined teams in the Premier League this season. They have racked up 37 yellow cards across their opening 11 outings of the campaign, an average of 3.36 per-game. The Saints are also one of five teams to have been shown two or more red cards in the top-flight this term, both of which were brandished at St Mary’s.
Liverpool look like a well oiled machine under Arne Slot. The Reds made it nine wins from 11 in the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa. Liverpool won the shots on target count 5-2 and produced a 2.02 xG output to Villa’s tally of 1.38. They also dictated the tempo with the game, having enjoyed 62% possession.
Liverpool didn’t receive a single card during their 2-0 win over Aston Villa. In fact, the Reds have been one of the most well behaved sides in the Premier League this season, collecting just 21 yellow cards to date. However, Slot’s side are drawing an average of three yellows per 90 from their top-flight opponents this term.
While Liverpool are traditionally a strong team when it comes to earning corners, it’s worth noting that they have hit three or fewer flag-kicks in three of their last four league games.
