Southampton striker Ings, who previously represented Liverpool, has scored six goals in the league thus far and his form will be crucial ahead of the visit of the champions.

Prediction

Southampton are a dangerous outfit, proving that they can step up and threaten teams. Liverpool will be wary though, and with Thiago finding form and Manchester United applying pressure, I think the Reds will find a way to win their first Premier League game of 2021. Southampton 0-2 Liverpool.
