Liverpool vs Southampton: Predictions, odds & betting tips

Liverpool will be aiming to secure a third home win in the space of a week when they welcome Southampton to Anfield for Saturday’s Premier League clash.

The Reds are in confident spirits after following up last weekend’s emphatic 4-0 win over Arsenal by beating Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Liverpool vs Southampton preview

Having kept three consecutive clean sheets on home turf, Jurgen Klopp’s team will back themselves to keep at bay an away team that have failed to score in each of their last five visits to this ground.

However, the Saints have proved themselves to be no pushovers themselves recently, conceding just eight goals in their last nine fixtures and holding Manchester City to a goalless stalemate at the Etihad Stadium.
