Southampton vs Liverpool: prediction for the English Premier League match

Southampton have had an overall decent season, even though they didn't achieve anything out of ordinary. The team defeated Swansea, Coventry City, and West Ham on their way to the FA Cup quarterfinals, where they lost to Manchester City (1:4).

In the Premier League, Ralph Hasenhuttl's men collected 40 points from 36 games. After nine victories and 13 draws, the Saints sit in the 15th position in the standings. On average, Southampton concede two goals per game. 

A month ago, Soton recorded a slender victory over Arsenal (1:0), and they haven't won since. In the last four games, the Saints earned just one point, in a game against Brighton (2:2). 

Livramento has been ruled out of this fixture. 

Liverpool have won all six of their Champions League group games, which is the best result for any English club. After that, the team cruised past the Italian champions Inter Milan in the first round of the playoffs (2:1 on aggregate) and overcame Benfica in the quarterfinals (6:4 on aggregate). In the semifinal, the Reds beat Villarreal twice. 

Last Saturday, Jurgen Klopp's men won their second trophy in this year. They defeated Chelsea on penalties in the final of the FA Cup. We remind you that in February Liverpool beat Chelsea on penalties in the League Cup final. 

The Merseysiders are in 2nd place in the Premier League standings with 86 points from 36 games. Liverpool recorded 26 victories and eight draws and scored 89 goals while conceding just 24 goals. In the last two Premier League games, the Reds drew against Tottenham (1:1) and celebrated success over Aston Villa (2:1).

Klopp cannot call upon the services of Salah, Fabinho, and van Dijk.
