Sunday’s football game at St. Mary’s Stadium pits together Southampton and Liverpool, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2024/2025 Premier League season. The Saints are determined to secure the top flight survival, while Arne Slot’s troops aim to regain the Premier League trophy. As Southampton failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Wolverhampton before the international break, home win should not be considered. Both Ross Stewart and Will Smallbone are injured for the hosts, while Ryan Fraser should recover in time to face the Reds.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions. Liverpool are determined to win their first league title since 2020 and given Southampton’s shaky defence, anything but a routine away triumph would be a big surprise. Arne Slot can’t count on Diogo Jota for Sunday’s clash, while all Federico Chiesa, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, and Harvey Elliott are major doubts.
Score Prediction: Southampton 1-3 Liverpool
