THE PREDICTION
Draws seem to be the root of Liverpool's season so far as they have drawn six games in the league already, opening the door for their title-challenging rivals to capitalise on. Southampton themselves have been hindered with draws, amassing five throughout the course of this season. A draw from this game wouldn’t be a stupid prediction, given Southampton over-achieving this season and Liverpool slightly under-achieving, but Liverpool are expected to put their patchy form to bed and start collecting three points again.
