Southampton vs. Liverpool: What the pundits are saying
Harry Redknapp
"I don’t think Arne Slot in his wildest dreams would have thought he’d be five points clear at the top in November, what a start! They play with a real authority and composure; they probably go into every game thinking they will win. Â
"I can’t see how Liverpool don’t win this. Southampton are dodgy at the back and Mohamed Salah has been as dominant as ever."Â
Paul Merson

"If Liverpool can take their chances, it could become a rout! Liverpool have the easiest fixture among the top three this weekend. If they win and the others slip-up, the title race is over. We're on thin ice with these teams at the moment."
Southampton vs. Liverpool: Prediction
There's a reason why the clubs are in the position they are in, and on Sunday that will become very apparent as nothing less than domination by Liverpool is expected.
A three or four-goal victory could be in the cards for Slot's men, and it's hard to see how the Saints will crack the league's best defence. 3-0 for the visitors.
