THE PREDICTION
Liverpool had been due to face fierce rivals Man Utd last Sunday, however the game was postponed following pockets of United fans breaking into Old Trafford and invading the pitch in protest at the club’s current ownership. Therefore, Jurgen Klopp’s men have had a rare two-week break and will be itching to get out onto the pitch vs Southampton. The Saints showed real resilience in their most recent league game, holding Leicester to a 1-1 draw despite being reduced to ten-men just ten minutes into the match and whilst Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side are winless in their last four fixtures in all competitions, they certainly won’t prove pushovers at Anfield. Indeed, the reverse fixture between the two sides saw Hasenhuttl’s men triumph 1-0, however Southampton striker Danny Ings who scored the winner in that match is not expected to feature here due to injury. The unexpected gap between fixtures will have given Liverpool the perfect chance to rest and reset as they look to finish the season strong and give themselves the best chance possible of finishing in the top four. With three points absolutely vital, the Reds should be able to utilise the anticipated high fitness levels of their players to good effect in this match, ultimately securing a hard fought victory.
