Liverpool welcome Southampton to Anfield as the hosts are in red hot form. The Reds have been on fire in attack in their last five Premier League matches scoring 18 goals while allowing only five. Due to some individual mistakes in defense, one of those five matches also led to a draw but Southampton have a tall task considering that they just lost to cellar dwelling Norwich City last week. Southampton's improved form recently has been down to their defense but stopping Liverpool would be a mammoth undertaking for anyone.

Storylines
Liverpool: Looking to shake of injuries, Liverpool will hope to welcome Andrew Robertson back to the starting lineup after he returned to the bench versus Porto following a hamstring injury. They should also be able to welcome Jordan Henderson back into the fold as the injury crisis finally begins to improve. There will likely still be rotation as the Liverpool second team will be enough here but they also need to do a professional job to keep pace with Chelsea in the title race.

Southampton: Southampton are improving but there is a question of what their best strike force is. Armando Broja, Nathan Redmond, Che Adams, and Adam Armstrong have all shown flashes at points but the Saints aren't scoring enough goals. Facing such a strong Liverpool side, they'll have to take advantage of any scoring chances that they do get which is tough to do not knowing your best attack. Southampton have sprung upsets though, drawing Manchester City, Manchester United, and West Ham. So, they could be up for making this big game tough.
Prediction
Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are unstoppable right now. Southampton can try but they will find a way Pick: Liverpool 3, Southampton 1
