Liverpool FC vs. Southampton FC
In what is probably the most attractive top international league, the Premier League, Liverpool and Southampton meet at Anfield on Saturday. The Reds were active in the Champions League during the week, picking up their 5th win in their 5th game. Even before this game they were sure group winners, yet the team did not let their guard down and kept a clean sheet. In the league, Jürgen Klopp’s team also recovered quickly from the defeat against West Ham and shot down Arsenal FC 4-0 at their own stadium.
Things have been better for the Saints recently and they have won 2 of their last 3 games. Nevertheless, the defeat in the last match against Norwich City will have annoyed them, as they may have expected at least a point. In this match, Liverpool are the clear favourites and whether they will live up to their role as favourites, you can find out in this Liverpool – Southampton tip.

Liverpool Form & Balance Check
Liverpool FC have returned to their old strength after a season of ups and downs and are considered one of the absolute top teams and favourites both nationally and internationally. In a really challenging group in the Champions League, they have more than prevailed and have long since been confirmed as group winners. In the Premier League, they have recently presented one or two weaknesses, but with the victory over Arsenal, this was not permanent.
Will Liverpool win another title this season?
The Reds went without a title last season, having previously won the Championship and the Champions League the year before. So far it looks good that it will at least remain exciting for a long time and that the Reds will play for many titles for a long time. Above all, Mo Salah is once again in outstanding form and Sadio Mané has also returned to his old strength. We are therefore curious to see how Liverpool’s season will develop.
Liverpool facts & analysis
– Liverpool are still unbeaten at home
– On average they score 2.3 goals in home games
– Top scorer is Salah with 11 goals in the Premier League
Southampton Form & Balance Check
With 2 wins in their last 3 games, Southampton have managed to pull away slightly from their rivals and take a small step out of the bottom of the table. But the 1:2 against Norwich was a small setback and now an extremely difficult opponent awaits with Liverpool. Nevertheless, you have to take your hat off to the work of the Saints, because every year they have to accept extreme setbacks and sell stars. With Danny Ings, the best goal scorer of the last few years has left the club and really equal replacements could not be found.
It’s all about staying in the league!
It is extremely unlikely that the team will attack the international places again. But that’s not the Saints’ ambition either, as the squad can’t compete individually with the top teams in the league. Nevertheless, we are positively surprised that those responsible have stuck with the coach for 3 years now and do not change coaches every time there is a minor crisis. That is extremely exemplary and we keep our fingers crossed that they continue to stick with their coach and fight so passionately.
Southampton facts & analysis
– Southampton have only scored 11 goals in 12 games.
– When Southampton FC lead 0-1 in away games, they win 60% of them
– They lost their last game 2-1 against Norwich
Predicted lineup – last update on 26 November 2021
Compared to the Champions League match against Porto, we expect some changes in personnel. In defence Robertson and van Dijk return and also in midfield with Milner probably a veteran starts. In the attacking centre, Jota returns to the starting eleven. For the visitors, Hasenhüttl will probably rely on experience and bring in Theo Walcott. Otherwise, we do not expect any changes.
