Southampton vs Liverpool: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, odds
It has largely been smooth sailing for Arne Slot in his opening few months in charge of the Reds, who can open up an eight-point gap on Manchester City follow their 4-0 defeat against Tottenham on Saturday.
The Dutchman has won 15 of his 17 games in charge of the club thus far, ensuring the standards remain very high indeed despite the departure of an icon in Jurgen Klopp.
Saints have struggled since their promotion from the Championship, winning only one of their opening 11 games. Beaten by relegation rivals Wolves last time out, they’re up against it here.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Southampton vs Liverpool team news
The hosts are set to be without goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and defender Jan Bednarek for a number of weeks after both sustained injuries during the international break.
The pair had played every minute in the Premier League this season but Ramsdale left England’s camp before their Nations League fixtures and has had surgery on a finger injury.
Bednarek was forced off with a knee issue at half-time of Poland’s defeat to Portugal last Friday.
“They’ll both be out for this weekend and a number of weeks,” manager Russell Martin told a press conference.
Harvey Elliott is back in training but Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota are still a way off returning.
