Southampton vs Liverpool: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds
Premier League leaders Liverpool return to domestic action away at Southampton.
It has largely been smooth sailing for Arne Slot in his opening few months in charge of the Reds.
The Dutchman has won 15 of his 17 games in charge of the club thus far, ensuring the standards remain very high indeed despite the departure of an icon in Jurgen Klopp.
The 2-0 win over Aston Villa earlier this month sent the Reds five points clear at the top of the Premier League table and they will be expected to claim yet another victory on Sunday.
Saints have struggled since their promotion from the Championship, winning only one of their opening 11 games. Beaten by relegation rivals Wolves last time out, they’re up against it here.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Southampton vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 2pm GMT kick-off time on Sunday 24 November, 2024.
St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton will host.

Southampton vs Liverpool team news
Saints will need to assess Aaron Ramsdale after he pulled out of the England squad over the international break with an injury. Flynn Downes could not play against Wolves and will also require assessment.
Will Smallbone, Ross Stewart, Ryan Fraser are all doubts for the hosts, while Jan Bednarek and Gavin Bazunu are injured.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have recently welcomed back Alisson Becker but it remains to be seen if the Brazilian can oust the impressive Caoimhin Kelleher in goal just yet. Trent Alexander-Arnold pulled out of the England squad over the international break, though there is hope he can feature here.
Slot will provide updates on Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott when speaking at his pre-match press conference later this week.
Southampton vs Liverpool prediction
Liverpool have dropped only two points on the road all season, while Saints have lost three of their five home games thus far.
