Southampton-Liverpool is a match of the twelfth day of the Premier League and is played on Sunday at 3 p.m.: live TV, probable formations, prediction.
Liverpool is the only big team that has so far managed to minimize missteps and two weeks ago, beating Aston Villa at Anfield Road with a comfortable 2-0 win, increased the gap on the second, Manchester City, who fell to a surprise defeat against Brighton. Five points now separate the Reds from the defending champions.
Excluding last September’s home defeat to Nottingham Forest, Liverpool has achieved only positive results between competitions. In the league, Salah and his teammates have earned an impressive nine wins and boast the best defense in the tournament (barely 6 goals conceded). Numbers that make coach Arne Slot gloat: no one could have imagined such an impact from the former Feyenoord coach, called to pick up the very heavy legacy left by predecessor Jurgen Klopp. Since Slot has sat on the bench, Liverpool has won 15 out of 17 games.
This weekend the Reds will take the field last among the title contenders: they will therefore be aware of the results of the other direct competitors.
The three points would, in theory, be within reach against newly promoted last-place Southampton. A head-to-head challenge that Slot just can’t miss to try to further consolidate the top spot. The Saints, after getting their first win of the season (1-0 over Everton) immediately got their feet back on the ground by losing their direct clash with another struggling team, Wolverhampton (2-0). Russell Martin’s bench is not wavering but the 4 points in the standings after 4 days are beginning to worry the red and white fans.

The Prediction
The impeccable Liverpool of this first part of the season should have no problem making the 3 points theirs at St. Mary’s Stadium, moreover against a team that will have to deal with the absence of the starting goalkeeper (Ramsdale) and one of the defensive pillars (Bednarek). The Reds are likely to score 2 to 4 goals.
