Southampton vs Liverpool Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
Arne Slot’s side boast the best defensive record in the division.
With the international break now over, Southampton who are in the bottom place in the table are set to lock horns with league leaders Liverpool in round 12 of the Premier League action at the St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday aiming to climb up out of the relegation zone.
Southampton have gone through a difficult start to the season as they find themselves at the bottom of the table after round 11. The Saints have struggled to live up to the demands of the Premier League despite Russell Martin believing his side can turn the table. While they have been fragile defensively, their goalscoring hasn’t done the good either after managing to score just seven goals from 11 games.
Liverpool on the other hand are looking the real deal this season. They are among the favourites to win the Premier League this season after making an excellent start under Arne Slot. The Reds are currently leading the charts having maintained a five-point lead over second-place Manchester City. Arne Slot’s side for now are showing title credentials, they are strong defensively while also showing their knack for scoring goals regularly.
Kick-Off:
Sunday, 24 November 2024 at 2:00 PM UK; 7:30 PM IST
Location: St. Mary’s Stadium
Form:
Southampton (in all competitions): L-L-W-W-L
Liverpool (in all competitions): D-W-W-W-W
Players to Watch
Taylor Harwood-Bellis (Southampton)
What a start to the season it has been for the young defender who has established himself among the emerging centre-backs in the division. The former Manchester City youth product is performing consistently for the Saints which has deservedly earned him his first call-up to the England national team during the international break where he also scored in his debut to make an instant impact.
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
Mohamed Salah has been in rampant form for Liverpool this season and is one of the major reasons for their unbelievable start. The veteran forward is leading the Premier League in terms of goal contribution after registering 14 G/A from the starting eleven games. While he is clinical in front of the goal, it is his playmaking abilities that have gone unnoticed after delivering some wonderful assists for his teammates.

This makes the injury list to five with the trio of Gavin Bazunu, Will Smallbone, and Ross Stewart also missing through injuries. Alex McCarthy is set to return to the lineup to replace Ramsdale for this clash.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are dealing with similar problems despite their impressive start to the season. The trio of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Federico Chiesa, and Diogo Jota are close to making their returns from injuries while Alisson Becker and Harvey Elliott have both joined full training and should make the matchday squad.
