Southampton and Liverpool are both looking to start 2021 with a win after draws in their respective final Premier League games of last year.

The Saints will be hoping that their luck against the Reds is set to change in the New Year, as Southampton have lost each of their last six games to the champions.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been a big reason for those results, with the Egyptian scoring seven goals in his six league clashes against Southampton.

With a win on the south coast, Jurgen Klopp’s side would move three points clear at the top of the Premier League.

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.
