Liverpool finished their last year’s campaign in a high note and came so close in winning their first Premier League title since 1989-90. But they failed to get past their last few hurdles due to which they ended up in the second position in the league table last year.Liverpool collected a total of 84 points last season, scoring 101 goals.
While on the other hand, Southampton had to settle for the 8th spot in their last season. They started their season pretty well but they gradually went down. The Saints collected a total of 56 points last season, scoring 54 goals.
The Reds come into this match with a great win over Borussia Dortmund at Anfield, last weekend. Liverpool scored 4 goals in that match and will be hoping to carry the same form when they play Southampton.
Liverpool have signed Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Dejan Lovern, who were 3 of the most influential players of Southampton. Other than that Liverpool have brought in players like Emre Can, Lazar Markovic, Javier Manquillo and reports suggest that Alberto Moreno is set to complete his transfer to the Merseyside club.
This fixture will be the first test in the English Premier League for the new Southampton manager, Ronald Koeman. He will have a tough time managing his side as Southampton has lost many of their key players in this transfer market.
The last time these two clubs met, the Merseyside team were 3-0 victors with goals by Steven Gerrard, Raheem Sterling and Luis Suarez, who is now a Barcelona player. However, the Saints were the first to beat them last campaign with Dejan Lovren ( now a Liverpool player ) scoring the only goal of the match at Anfield.
