Over 2.5 goals and Dominik Szoboszlai (3/1 with BetMGM)
Southampton’s last five Premier League away games have all featured over 2.5 goals. Similarly, the last five Premier League matches played at Liverpool’s home ground have also seen over 2.5 goals scored. Dominik Szoboszlai has scored four goals in his last eight appearances including in each of the last two matches he’s played.
Mohamed Salah anytime goalscorer (8/13 with Bet365)
Only Chris Wood and Erling Haaland, both with 10, have scored more Premier League home goals than Mohamed Salah, who has nine this season. Additionally, the Egyptian forward has scored in each of his four league appearances at Anfield. In his last 12 league home matches, he has only failed to find the net in three of them.

How both teams go into Liverpool vs Southampton
The situation in the Premier League could not be more contrasting, with Liverpool closing in on their 20th championship while Southampton is facing inevitable relegation back to the second division. After the departure of legendary manager Jurgen Klopp, very few predicted Liverpool’s current standing: 13 points clear at the top of the table, although they have played one game more than the second-placed team. With 10 matches remaining, Liverpool won the most games (20) and suffered the fewest losses (1), making them the league’s top scorers. Arsenal, just below them in the standings, have a better defence, having conceded 23 goals compared to Liverpool’s 26.
Liverpool’s only loss came against Nottingham Forest at Anfield. Despite this defeat, the Reds have dropped only four additional points at home, drawing matches against Fulham and Manchester United. In stark contrast, Southampton have the fewest wins in the league (2) and the most losses (22) by a significant margin. The Saints also have the league’s weakest attack, scoring only 19 goals, and the worst defence, conceding 65. Away from home, Southampton secured just one victory (against fellow promoted side Ipswich) and earned two more points through draws against Fulham and Brighton.
Liverpool team news
Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley will not be available for Liverpool, with Gomez anticipated to make his comeback in the closing weeks of the season.
Southampton team news
Adam Lallana, Jan Bednarek, and Lesley Ugochukwu may make their return, with Ugochukwu on loan from Chelsea previously unavailable due to being unable to play against his parent club. Meanwhile, there is currently no update on Ryan Fraser’s return, as well as for Ross Stewart and Juan Larios.
Liverpool vs Southampton head-to-head
Southampton have won only one of their last 16 meetings (13 losses and two draws) against Liverpool, who are aiming for three consecutive victories over the Saints.
