Despite being lackluster this season, Liverpool find themselves leading the way in the Premier League after 16 games. Level on points with bitter rivals Manchester United, the Reds are only clear of Ole’s men by virtue of their superior goal difference.

At this point, they cannot allow for any slip-ups if they are to hold on to first-place on the standings. Enduring a patchy away form so far, Klopp’s charges must rise to the occasion to post a vital win over Southampton here.

Southampton vs Liverpool Team News

Off to a brilliant start in the Premier League this term, Southampton are one of the teams to beat. They are wowing fans with their eye-catching football, treating us to some wonderful spectacle in a couple of fixtures.

However, the Saints have hit something of a rough patch recently, and are struggling to get wins on the board. In fact, this side are now on a run of four games without a single victory – a streak comprising three draws and a defeat.

Playing out bore stalemates in their last two matches, Southampton are becoming very difficult to watch as Hasenhuttl has moved to approach games cautiously. The German gaffer recently lauded his players for their defensive exploits this term.

Last time out against free-scoring West Ham United, the Saints turned in a performance of the highest quality to prevent the Hammers from hitting the target, squeezing out a point in the process. After getting a share of the spoils, Soton moved up to ninth on the log.

Sporting a magnificent 26 points from 16 matches, Southampton are in splendid form, and one of the many sides pushing for continental qualification. Their defensive resilience will be tested again on Monday, when Klopp’s men arrive town.

Managing an injury-ridden squad, Klopp has been forced to feature some fringe players in his starting XI in recent weeks. With commanding center-back Virgil van Dijk out on the sidelines, Liverpool have looked pretty shaky so far, particularly in defense.

Following their 7-0 drubbing of Crystal Palace in mid-December, the Reds have gone on to pick up a measly two points from their two subsequent games. With United hot on their tails, the Merseyside club must now rally around to begin stringing victories on the trot.

Injured or Suspended Players

Southampton: Sam McQueen.

Liverpool: Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Diogo Jota.

Southampton vs Liverpool Predictions

Proving to be surprise packages this season, Southampton have shown to thrive in these kinds of fixtures. As such, they cannot be treated with a wave of the hand. The Reds will be wary of the opposition’s threat from set-pieces.

However, with Thiago is back in the team, and Man United blowing hot on their tails, we expect Liverpool to drop a masterclass here. Likely to be a close game, we are counting on Klopp’s men to come out on top via a narrow win margin.
