Liverpool eye victory at home against Southampton in 2018/19 Premier League

Liverpool and Southampton are set to play each other on Saturday in the Premier League as the season moves ahead. The Reds go into this game as the favourites.

Kick-off : 3:00 PM (Local)

Venue : Anfield, Liverpool

Liverpool have had a fantastic start to their new Premier League season and are unbeaten this term so far. They have won five games out of five.

The Reds are only behind Chelsea on 1 on goal difference. Liverpool will look to continue the good work on Saturday when they take on Southampton.

Liverpool did well on Tuesday night in the Champions League defeating PSG. But they need to get back to work in terms of the Premier League and get the job done.

On the other hand, Southampton will be hoping for a positive result on Saturday too after having an OK start to the Premier League this term.

The Saints are currently 13th in the Premier league after five games with five points.

Mark Hughes’s side will need to give their all against Liverpool and hope for the best.

Liverpool and Southampton have been both good against each other in recent times and the pattern should follow.

Team news and possible line-ups

Southampton have no fresh injury concerns for them at the moment and should play their best XI on Saturday.

As for Liverpool, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will not be available as due to injury.

Southampton XI : Long, Redmond, Hojbjerg, Elyounoussi, Lemina, Romeu, Bertrand, Hoedt, Vestergaard, Cedric, McCarthy.

Liverpool XI : Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Mane, Salah.

Prediction

I expect it to be a good game as both teams will give their all. But in the end I expect Liverpool to get the job done and earn three points.
