In this week 17 match, on Mon Jan 4th, Southampton plays host to Liverpool in a meeting of these two mismatched Premier League teams. 9th placed Southampton is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against West Ham United. Neither Southampton nor West Ham United could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 9 and 8 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw.
Southampton is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Liverpool recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Newcastle United. Newcastle United had 10 on target, and Liverpool had 15, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Liverpool should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Liverpool won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Mohamed Salah has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, the attacker has scored 4 goals for Liverpool. Nathan Redmond and Stuart Armstrong are the top scorers for Southampton in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
Ralph Hasenhüttl’s Southampton squad will be without Oriol Romeu, Danny Ings, Stuart Armstrong, Moussa Djenepo, Jannik Vestergaard and Nathan Redmond, while Jürgen Klopp’s squad will be without Virgil van Dijk, Alisson, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keïta, Joël Matip, Xherdan Shaqiri, Thiago Alcântara, Joe Gomez, Konstantinos Tsimikas and Diogo Jota.
