Each team's starting lineup in their previous match in this tournament is listed.
Southampton
Before the international break, Russell Martin's side suffered a 0-2 away defeat to Wolverhampton. As a result, they failed to build on their first victory of the current championship, which they secured against Everton in the previous round (1-0). The club remains in the relegation zone, and their gap from the safe 17th place has increased to 4 points. It's also worth noting that Southampton has scored just 7 goals, the worst attacking record in the Premier League.
- In their last 24 Premier League matches, the club has suffered 18 defeats (1 win and 5 draws).
- In 7 of Southampton's last 9 league matches, one of the teams won with a clean sheet in the first half.
- The club has not won in 11 of their last 12 home Premier League matches (3 draws and 8 losses).
Liverpool
Under Arne Slot's guidance, Liverpool strengthened their lead in the championship, pulling five points clear of Manchester City. The team defeated Aston Villa 2-0 at home. Their unbeaten run in the Premier League has now extended to seven matches, with six wins and one draw. They manage to lead the table not only due to their effective attacking play but also thanks to the best defense, which has conceded just six goals.
Forwards Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota, goalkeeper Alisson Becker, and defender Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss the match due to injuries.
- The number "2" appeared in the final scoreline of 5 of Liverpool's last 6 league matches.
- The team has scored two or three goals in 11 of their last 13 Premier League matches.
- Liverpool opened the scoring in 11 of their last 14 Premier League matches.
Southampton vs. Liverpool: Match Prediction
The upcoming match will feature the best and worst teams after 11 rounds. Southampton has just one victory, while Liverpool has only one defeat. I am confident that these figures will remain unchanged, given the significant difference in the current form of these clubs.
The hosts have lost 9 of their 11 matches this season, five of them by a margin of two or more goals. Liverpool has played five away games in the Premier League this season, securing four wins and one draw against Arsenal.
Additionally, considering the head-to-head results, Liverpool has won 10 of the last 12 league encounters (1 draw and 1 loss), with 8 wins by a margin of two or more goals. I believe the current Liverpool side will easily handle the Premier League's bottom team. My prediction: Liverpool with a handicap (-1.5)
