Chris Sutton has predicted on BBC Sport that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will win against Nathan Jones’s Southampton at Anfield this weekend.
Liverpool will lock horns with Southampton at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Former Chelsea striker Sutton believes that the Reds will pick up all three points from the encounter against the Saints courtesy of a 3-0 win.
Chris Sutton predicts Liverpool v Southampton
Sutton wrote: “Nathan Jones takes charge of Southampton for the first time here, but how much difference can he make in a couple of days?
“Saints just don’t score enough goals anyway, but Anfield is not exactly the ideal place to go for a club to get a managerial bounce.
“Admittedly my record of predicting Liverpool’s results this season has been a bit hit and miss, but I didn’t just call their win at Tottenham last week, I nailed the exact result.
“I’m still not absolutely sure the Reds will win this one, just because of their inconsistency, but given their season so far, I think Jurgen Klopp will be absolutely desperate to go into this winter break on a high.
“Sutton’s prediction: 3-0.”
Who will win?
In our view, Liverpool will win against Southampton at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Merseyside club are the better team and are also in better form than the Saints.
Liverpool have won their last three competitive matches, getting the better of Napoli in the UEFA Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League and Derby County in the third round of the EFL Cup.
Southampton have only just appointed a new manager, and that’s because the Saints have been so poor so far this season.
The Saints are in real danger of going down to the Championship at the end of the season, and we think that Liverpool will get the better of Southampton at Anfield in the Premier League this weekend.
With ease.
