Southampton take on the visitors Liverpool in the round 12 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, November 24th at St. Mary’s Stadium (Southmapton).
Southampton, once a reliable mid-table side known for developing talent, have faced a turbulent period. Expectations were high following the arrival of new owner Dragan Solak, but instead of ushering in a new era of success, Southampton plummeted to the Championship. Russell Martin managed to guide them back to the Premier League, though not without difficulty. They finished behind Leicester City and Ipswich Town but earned promotion via a playoff win over Leeds United. Despite bolstering their squad over the summer, Southampton’s performances in the top flight have been underwhelming. They have shown some promise in the League Cup but struggled in the league. After opening with just a single draw against Ipswich, the Saints secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Everton in November. However, they fell 0-2 to direct relegation rival Wolverhampton in their last match, further highlighting their vulnerabilities.

Liverpool are looking strong but must maintain momentum. Liverpool bade farewell to Jürgen Klopp in May after he guided the Reds back to a top-three finish and secured the League Cup. The team, largely intact, is now under the stewardship of Arne Slot, whose tactical acumen has been an ideal fit for the squad. Ryan Gravenberch has emerged as one of the standout players of the season, seamlessly integrating into the side. Slot's Liverpool has been nearly unstoppable, losing only once (to Nottingham Forest) and drawing with Arsenal across all competitions. Mo Salah has been in scintillating form, leading a Liverpool team that is increasingly being tipped as title contenders. However, with over two-thirds of the season left, consistency remains key.
Southampton has struggled mightily against Liverpool, managing just one draw in their last six encounters. Liverpool is the clear favorite here, and the only question is the margin of victory. Given the Saints' defensive struggles and Liverpool's attacking firepower, a dominant display from the Reds is likely. Southampton’s lack of creativity and poor finishing has made it difficult for them to compete against higher-caliber teams. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s attacking depth and the form of Salah, Gravenberch, and Nunez ensure they will create plenty of chances.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with a -1.5 handicap.
