Liverpool
Liverpool have had a poor season so far, as they are already 15 points off top spot in the Premier League.
Can the Reds Return to Winning Ways at Anfield?
The Liverpool schedule has been packed with Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and EFL Cup fixtures, but this will be their final game before the World Cup break.
Liverpool are down in eighth at present after collecting a mere 19 points from 13 league matches.
They have been nowhere near their best, already losing four times in the league, which is double the number of defeats that they suffered in the entire 2021-22 Premier League campaign.
Overall, the Merseysiders have won five, drawn four and lost four of 13 on their EPL schedule.
Back-to-back PL Defeats
Liverpool recently fell to back-to-back Premier League defeats to Nottingham Forest and Leeds. However, they bounced back with a much-needed win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the last one.
Mohamed Salah was the hero, netting twice in the 2-1 success. If results go in their favor this weekend, Liverpool can head into the World Cup break as high as eighth, though defeat could see them drop into mid-table.
This is a big game for the home side as they look to keep up with the European places. Check out the latest Liverpool odds and tips below.

- Alisson
- Trent Alexander-Arnold

Southampton
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s four-year stay at Southampton has come to an end. Last weekend’s heavy 4-1 loss to in-form Newcastle United at St Mary’s proved to be the final nail in Hasenhuttl’s coffin.
The Saints have had a disappointing season and are in desperate form right now. Southampton occupies a place in the Premier League’s dreaded drop zone.
They have picked up just 12 points all season, winning three, drawing three, and losing eight. The Hampshire club head to Merseyside having won only one Premier League game since August and have suffered six defeats in their past nine.
Despite all the doom and gloom surrounding the club at present, the appointment of Jones looks an exciting one on paper. The Welshman failed at Stoke City but worked wonders during his spells with Luton.
Jones watched from the stands as Southampton edged past EFL League One side Sheffield Wednesday on penalties in the third round of the EFL Cup in midweek.
Southampton have lost four of their last five Premier League away games, failing to score in four of those.
This will be another stern test on the road, but can the Saints get off to a positive start under their new manager? Below you will find the latest Liverpool vs Southampton odds and top tips.
Southampton Projected Lineup
- Gavin Bazunu
- Duje Caleta-Car
- Romain Perraud
- Mohammed Salisu
- Mohamed Elyounoussi
- Armel Bella-Kotchap
- Ainsley Maitland-Niles
- James Ward-Prowse
- Stuart Armstrong
- Joe Aribo
- Che Adams
Southampton Injuries
- Kyle Walker-Peters
- Valentino Livramento

Liverpool vs. Southampton Pick and Prediction
Liverpool will be out for blood after losing to Leeds in their last home league game. They have bounced back with three victories since then, however, seeing off Napoli, Tottenham, and Derby County. Can they keep the improved run going?
It may take time for Jones to get his philosophies across with his new Southampton players, and a trip to Anfield is an extremely tough place to start.
Who to Bet On?
After guiding Luton to the Championship play-offs against the odds last term, can the 49-year-old keep Southampton in the Premier League?
Liverpool should be too hot to handle on their own patch this Saturday. In this fixture last season, Diogo Jota (2), Thiago and Virgil van Dijk were on target in a resounding 4-0 Liverpool win.
Back the Reds to win to nil again at +120. Also, put some money on the hosts to win by -1 handicap scoreline at -150.
EPL Pick: Liverpool (+120)
