Liverpool have a chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points on Sunday when they travel to Southampton hoping to secure another win.
The Reds are still in the midst of a strong start under new manager Arne Slot, who has lost just once since taking over the job in August. This makes them the top team in the Premier League and goes into the match with a five-point lead over second-placed Manchester City. They will be the big favorites against Southampton, who are bottom of the league with just one win and four points after eleven games.
Here’s what you need to know before you tune in.

Storylines
Liverpool remain Europe’s most in-form team as winter approaches, topping both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League after winning all but one of their games this season. It helps that their squad has been basically at full strength all season and will remain so for Sunday’s match at Southampton, although rotation could be in order ahead of a Champions League match against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Mohamed Salah could play a part in continuing a fantastic season that has seen him provide eight goals and six assists in the Premier League so far and sit second in both categories. Luis Diaz was also a top contributor with five goals and two assists in the competition. Given Southampton’s leaky defence, which has conceded 21 goals in 11 games, it could be a big day for Liverpool’s attack and not for the backline, which is the best in the league with just six goals conceded.
Prediction
Liverpool is the oddsmakers’ choice for good reason. While Slot’s team usually prefers to be subdued, expect them to unleash their full offensive power regardless of personnel. Choose: Southampton 0, Liverpool 4
