Featured Game | Liverpool vs. Southampton
Why you should back Liverpool
The Reds are on their home ground, and they have a 14-5 advantage in goals in their league home games this season. They have outscored Southampton 12-0 in their last four meetings at Anfield. Liverpool had already locked up the top spot in its Champions League group, so manager Jurgen Klopp was able to rest some key players in Wednesday’s 2-0 victory against FC Porto. Mohamed Salah started Wednesday but should also be in the lineup Saturday, and he leads the Premier League with 11 goals and shares the lead with seven assists.
Liverpool will be highly motivated to stay in the thick of the title race. It finished third in its attempt to defend the title last season, but key players like defenders Virgil Van Djik and Joel Matip missed a lot of time with injuries. Both are back, and Van Djik, a one-time Southampton star, has a rare combination of size and speed and impeccable instincts. Sadio Mane, who also played for Southampton, has seven goals, while Trent Alexander-Arnold has a goal and six assists. The defender has been a menace to opposing defenses with his crosses into the box.
Why you should back Southampton
The Saints have played to draws with both Manchester City and Manchester United in league play this season. They also took Chelsea to the brink in the League Cup, losing on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Southampton has young talent in the attack, with Adam Armstrong and Che Adams each scoring twice. Adams has five goals in his last six matches in all competitions, including two with Scotland in World Cup Qualifying. Armstrong is off to a slow start after scoring 28 goals with Blackburn last season, but he has a goal and two assists in his past three games.
James Ward-Prowse is one of the most dangerous players in the Premier League on set pieces. He has scored twice, with both goals coming on penalty kicks. Southampton has five clean sheets in the 12 matches and has conceded just 14 goals, tied for fifth-fewest in the league. The Saints hound opposing attackers, and they rank sixth in tackles won (140), with central defender Mohammed Salisu fourth in the EPL with 37. They control the ball more than 51 percent of the time (eighth in EPL) and have allowed the fifth-fewest shots in the league (137).
