Prediction: 2-0
Southampton
Liverpool will be aiming to keep their Champions League hopes alive when they take on Southampton on Saturday afternoon. Since this has to go down as a must-win game for the Reds, we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Saints. Defenders Van Dijk, Gomez, and Matip remain on the sidelines with injuries, as well as Henderson and Origi. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Mohamed Salah, who has netted 20 goals so far this season.
Southampton, on the other hand, are ten points clear of the relegation zone ahead of Matchday 35. The ten-man Saints did well to hold Leicester City to a draw at the weekend, but spoiling Liverpool’s party at Anfield is easier said than done. The Reds are eager to get their revenge on the Saints for the 1-0 loss at St. Mary’s, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. Southampton key attacker Danny Ings has yet to recover from a hamstring injury.
Highlighted Player (Sadio Mané):
Sadio Mane is a Senegalese footballer who plays for Liverpool as a winger. Mane was born in Sedhiou Senegal on April 10, 1992, but he made his senior debut at French club Metz. In 2012 he moved to Red Bull Salzburg, with the pacey winger scoring 31 goals in 63 appearances for the club in the Austrian Bundesliga.
Mane then decided to take a step forward in his career as he joined famous Premier League club Liverpool for a fee of £34 million, signing a five-year contract with the Reds. The Senegal international quickly established himself as a first-team regular at Liverpool and, no doubt, he helped the Anfield outfit make it to the 2017/2018 Champions League final.
Speaking of trophies, Sadio Mane won the Austrian Bundesliga with Salzburg in the 2013/2014 season. In 2017 he was named Liverpool player of the year for the 2016/2017 season. Sadio Mane made his Senegal debut in 2012 and he was part of the Senegal team that participated at the 2012 Olympic tournament.
Highlighted Team (Southampton):
Southampton are an English football club that have been playing their home games at St Mary's Stadium since 2001. The Saints were based at The Dell in the past and the capacity of Southampton’s new stadium is 32,505. Southampton wear red and white striped shirts and the colour of the team’s away kit is navy and green.
The Saints have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to clinch the FA Cup title back in 1976, while participating in the final of the prestigious competition in 1900, 1902 and 2003. Southampton outplayed Manchester United in the 1976 FA Cup final and that is probably the club’s greatest victory ever.
The club are well known for their football academy and Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale is one of the players who began their football carrier at the St. Mary’s Stadium outfit. Southampton’s fiercest rivals are Portsmouth and the two teams square off against each other in the South Coast Derby.
