Liverpool 5/4 to beat Southampton in Sunday’s Premier League battle

Competition: Premier League

Market: Liverpool to beat Southampton

Odds: 5/4 @ Bet365

The Premier League returns this weekend for yet another massive round of games. The league table is so tight that a single win can quite often see a team move up a number of places with the three points invaluable to their aspirations for the season. With this in mind, Southampton host Liverpool on Sunday.

Southampton have been struggling this season and they need to embark upon a run of games that will see them away from danger. After 26 games they have won five, drawn 11 and lost 10, scoring 28 goals and conceding 38 times. In their last five they have won once, drawn three times and lost once, which has seen them onto 26 points. The Saints are just two points clear of the relegation zone and they desperately need to build on the win they picked up in their last game. Incredibly, a single win could see them up to 12th in the league, which will feel a lot more comfortable for the side.

Liverpool have been very good this season and they are currently battling for one of the Champions League places for their next campaign. After 26 matches they have won 14, drawn nine and lost three, scoring 59 goals and conceding 31 times. In their last five they have won three, drawn once and lost once, which has seen them onto 51 points. The Reds are currently two points clear of Tottenham in fifth meaning that their fate is firmly in their own hands.
