⚽️ Competition: Premier League

The Cormorants have the chance to win for the seventh time in a row against Southampton. Jurgen Klopp returns with great thoughts to St. Mary’s Stadium, the place where he managed to win the last three games played.
Southampton: current form, latest results, statistics
After living to the extreme in the last three seasons when he finished in the second half of the standings, Southampton is eager to get better results. He somehow manages to play solid football, but there are times when he is content with a little. One of these episodes happened in the last days of last year when he drew white with West Ham United. For the “saints” it was the fourth consecutive stage in which they did not enjoy success in the championship matches, and in all this time they obtained three equal results, as well as a failure, 0-1, at home, with Manchester City. They also fell in the general classification, where they will approach the game on Monday night from 9th place, with 26 points.
- Probable team: McCarthy 0 Walker-Peters, Bendarek, Stephens, Bertrand – Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Walcott – Adams, Long
- Injured: Janni Vestergaard
Liverpool: current form, latest results, statistics
A new stage in which the “cormorants” start as favorites. They look down when they look at their opponents because they are leaders with 33 points. They now have the opportunity to distance themselves by three points from the next ranked, but the only condition is to get all the points. At the same time, he has to try another approach because in the last two games he has obtained only two equal results in front of accessible teams. The matches with WBA and Newcastle, the last ones in 2020, ended 1-1, respectively 0-0. The good part is the series of 12 consecutive matches without failure in the duels in the internal championship.
- Probable team: Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Wiliam, Fabinho, Robetson – Henderson, Thiago, Wijnaldum – Salah, Firmino, Mane
- Injured: Tsimikas, van Dijk, Diogo Jota, James Milner, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Naby Keita
Southampton vs Liverpool Picks
Liverpool was one step ahead of Soton, the team they defeated in the last six direct matches. Each time in all these games he managed to score at least twice. It is the team in the first place, and the game practiced is one over what its opponent can reach. At least that’s what I want to believe, and the offer of online bookmakers confirms this. So, I give credit to the better-rated team and I expect a new success from Jurgen Klopp.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 1.68
