Command Analysis
Liverpool got an away draw against Newcastle in the previous round of the Premier League (1:1). This is the second draw in a row for the team with the same score. One week earlier Jurgen Klopp's charges drew Leeds.
The loss of four points did not affect the standings of Liverpool. The Merseysiders are now on the seventh line with 54 points, which is seven points fewer less than the fourth Chelsea. The remaining games are not so challenging for the Reds, except the one against Man United. Also, they are yet to play against West Brom, Burnley, and Crystal Palace. However, the chances of getting into the Champions League aren't very good.
Liverpool quite unexpectedly lost too many points at home. The bad run started in mid-January with the defeat from Burnley. Before that, Liverpool haven't lost in the League game sat home for more than 60 games in a row. But in the last eight home games in the Premier League, they were only able to squeeze out one win against Aston Villa in injury time. In six other fixtures, they either lost or drew. The Reds' home results are now seventh in the Premier League.
Liverpool have many injuries in their squad: midfielder Jordan Henderson, defenders Joel Matip, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, as well as striker Divock Origi and goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher will not play due to injuries.
For Southampton, the season did not go well. In the last round, the Saints drew with Leicester at home(1:1), interrupting the losing streak of two games (against West Brom (1: 2) and Tottenham (0: 3). There was still an opportunity for Soton to win the FA Cup, but not so long ago they were eliminated by Leicester.
Ralph Hasenhüttl's charges are pretty much guaranteed to stay in the Premier League for the next season. Despite the low 15th place in the standings, Southampton are ten points ahead of the relegation zone. Moreover, they have a game in hand, unlike the group of outsiders.
Away Soton are one of the weakest teams in the Premier League. They have lost eight of their last nine matches on the rivals' pitches, beating only Sheffield United (2:0). Southampton are the most conceding away team of the current season: the Saints have already conceded 38 away goals.
