Week 16 brings us a match on Nov 12th where Liverpool hosts Southampton at Anfield in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Liverpool recorded a 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur. Mohamed Salah struck first for Liverpool in the 11th minute on a feed from Darwin Nuñez, then Mohamed Salah added another in the 40th minute. Liverpool should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while 18th placed Southampton is fresh off their 1-4 loss against Newcastle United. Miguel Almirón scored the first goal for Newcastle United in the 35th minute, then Chris Wood added another in the 58th minute. Southampton looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Liverpool won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Southampton’s most prolific scorer has been Romain Perraud. The French defender has netted 2 goals over the last five matches. Liverpool is fortunate enough to have Mohamed Salah in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored five goals
Liverpool will be without Luis Díaz, James Milner, Naby Keïta, Joël Matip, Arthur, Thiago Alcântara and Diogo Jota, while Kyle Walker-Peters and Valentino Livramento are unavailable to play for Ralph Hasenhüttl’s team.
