Two sides at completely opposite ends of the Premier League standings will meet this weekend when Liverpool take on Southampton at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. The Reds are perched 13 points clear at the summit of the league standings, while the Saints are the basement club, 13 points from safety. Check out our match prediction below!
Liverpool have been the better team by some distance in this contest, winning all but two of their last 13 matches against this opponent, with the exceptions being a 1-0 defeat in 2021 and a thrilling 4-4 draw in 2023. Southampton have failed to win any of their last nine Premier League visits to Anfield, losing seven and drawing twice, while being outscored 19-1 over that period.
The hosts are the shortest-priced favourites of any team on matchday 28 of the campaign. Let’s take a look at some more key stats at play in this David vs. Goliath encounter.

Liverpool - Southampton: Form Analysis
Only a monumental collapse is likely to derail Liverpool’s chances of winning the league title this season, and a victory here will see them pull 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League table overnight.
The Reds won their last league game 2-0 over Newcastle United, and after overcoming PSG in the Champions League in midweek, they are now unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions.
The hosts have turned Anfield into a fortress this season, having avoided defeat at this venue in their last 11 league matches, nine of which ended in victory dating back to mid-September last year.
Liverpool have scored two or more goals in 12 of their 13 home league games this season!
In almost complete contrast, it is starting to feel as though only a miracle can help Southampton avoid a return to the Championship, as they have only managed a meagre nine points to date.
The Saints have been battered in the last few weeks, with their last two games ending in 4-0 defeats to Brighton and Chelsea, following a 3-1 loss to Bournemouth midway through February.
The visitors have only earned five points on the road in the top flight this season and have conceded two or more goals in eight of their 14 outings, including in four of their last five.

Liverpool & Southampton Squad Analysis
Dominik Szoboszlai has been excellent for Liverpool this term and is enjoying a solid run of form. He has netted in his last two league games and is now on 10 goal contributions for the season across all competitions.
However, the star of the Premier League this term is still Mohamed Salah, who is five goals clear of Erling Haaland in the race for the Golden Boot.
Salah has contributed to 42 of Liverpool’s 66 goals this season (25 goals, 17 assists)!
After scoring the winner to give the Reds a lead in their Champions League tie against PSG in midweek, Harvey Elliott is likely to be given a start here, potentially in place of Curtis Jones.
To illustrate just how poor Southampton have been in attack this season, we can look at their goal-scorer standings where centre-back Jan Bednarek ranks second with two goals.
Indeed, the Saints' leading scorer this season, Joe Aribo, has found the back of the net just three times in the league and only once in his last 13 appearances.
