Liverpool can extend her lead in the Premier League to 16 points on Saturday afternoon if you organize the bottom of the table in Southampton.
Since Arsenal is only in action against Manchester United on Sunday, the red can continue to release themselves from their title rivals with the victory over the fighting saints. Liverpool already has a hand on the trophy, but it is difficult to do complacency on the route.
Liverpool received her toughest order of the season on Wednesday evening when she most recently traveled to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of her Champions League. The French side dominated the side of Arne Slot during a difficult evening, but Harvey Elliott’s late effort won a significant victory before the second leg on Tuesday.
It is unlikely that Southampton itself is a tenth of the challenge that PSG offered during the week, although Ivan Juric could not save her fortune. The Croatian has lost ten of his 12 games since the responsibility, with the south coast side now had 13 points with security. You still have to reach two digits in the Premier League.
Liverpool has beat Southampton twice this season, but both meetings of the St. Mary’s stadium were fiercely contested. This is perhaps the only silver strip that the saints can take into the match-up of the weekend.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the struggle between first and load.

Arne Slot will be tried to rest from PSG on Tuesday before visiting PSG, especially in view of the dark Southampton this season. While it is unlikely that he has changed wholesale, some peripheral figures could be handed over.
Cody Gakpo remains a fitness branch at the weekend after missing the victory over PSG with the appearance of an earlier ankle injury. It remains to be seen whether he will return on Saturday.
However, Liverpool is guaranteed without the injured trio by Joe Gomez, Tyler Morton and Conor Bradley, all of whom may have earned minutes against the saints.
Liverpool predicted the line-up against Southampton (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, van Dijk, Tsimikas; Endo, Jones; Salah, Elliott, Diaz; Nunez.
The ex-Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana was able to earn the warm hug of the Angard audience on Saturday after he was suitable for the trip to the north. It remains to be seen whether he can be seen on the edge after a month.
Ryan Fraser and Jan Bednarek will celebrate their comeback, but Southampton will miss James Bree, who is her only deviation for the match.
Lesley Ugochukwu was not entitled to stand in Chelsea last time, but will return to the match day for the Anfield trip.
Southampton predicted the line-up against Liverpool (3-4-2-1): Ramsdale, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Bella-Kotchap; Walker-Peters, Ugochukwu, Fernandes, Welington; Wing, Onuachu, Sulemana.
After the trip to Paris, there will be tired legs in the Liverpool Camp, but the league leaders have the strength and depth to deal with such fatigue. Even if the slot turns its side this weekend, you should become a comfortable victory in front of your own followers.
Southampton has lost the last two games 4-0 and could make it an undesirable hat trick on the Merseyside. You only managed nine points during this term and it could be difficult to score against a Liverpool team that kept three consecutive clean leaves.
