Southampton Vs Liverpool: The Reds Ready To Strengthen The Top Position Of The Standings

Southampton vs Liverpool

JAKARTA The exciting game Southampton vs Liverpool is scheduled to take place on Sunday 26 November at 21.00 WIB at St. Mary's Stadium. Liverpool came on a mission to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League standings, especially after the main competitor, Manchester City, surprisingly lost 0-4 to Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool appeared dominant under new coach Arne Slot. Before the international break, the Reds won an impressive 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Southampton slumped again after losing 0-2 to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who further confirmed their position at the bottom of the standings.

Liverpool are currently five points ahead of Manchester City. Coach Arne Slot even has the chance to set a record as Liverpool's first manager to win 10 in the first 12 Premier League games. Despite losing several key players such as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk's return was a big boost for their defense.

Southampton faces a tough challenge to get out of the relegation zone. Playing at home, they are still four points behind the safe zone. Losing important players like goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and defender Jan Bednarek made the situation worse for the hosts.

Despite being at the bottom of the standings, Southampton had an interesting record against leaders. In the last eight matches against the team that took the lead when the match started, Southampton lost only once. One of the historic moments was a 1-0 win over Liverpool in January 2021.

Estimates of the Line-up - Southampton: McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Sugawara, Stephens, Harwood-Bellis, Manning; Armstrong, Downes, Aribo, Fernandes; Archer.

- Liverpool: Neckneck; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Nunez.
