Last season, Liverpool made it to the League Cup final, but failed to win the trophy, losing to Newcastle (1-2). This time, the Merseysiders join the fight immediately from the 1/16 finals. Arne Slot's team is approaching the upcoming match on an impressive streak of six consecutive wins in all tournaments. However, it is alarming that many Victoria managed to get in the endings, the defense often fails. Nevertheless, Liverpool has confidently seized the lead in the Premier League, already has a five-point gap from its closest pursuers. In the Champions League, we managed to start with a 3-2 home victory over Atletico.

After an inglorious performance in the Premier League, Southampton is far from leading in the Championship. There is no question of a fight for promotion: six points scored in six matches played, 19th place in the table. In the last round, the saints could not do anything against Hull on the road - they lost with a score of 1:3.

Tip and bets

TipLiverpool with a head start (-2)

1.73

Liverpool have noticeably strengthened the squad on the eve of the new season, the competition for a place at the base is serious. It is not worth counting on the fact that the Merseyside reserve will play poorly today. Plus, Southampton doesn't show anything outstanding, even in the Championship they have won only one game in six matches. We do not think that the guests are ready to put up a decent resistance to the Premier League leader today.

Our betting tip is for Liverpool to win with an Asian handicap (-2) for a coefficient of 1.73
