The hosts have set up in a back five to begin with, with Fraser and Walker-Peters as wing-backs.

Liverpool have started on the front foot, as you’d expect, and Jones and Salah nearly combine to create an opening down the right.

The visitors get us underway at St. Mary’s!

The two sides are in the tunnel at St. Mary’s, so we’ll be underway soon.

Liverpool have a huge chance to extend their lead at the top of the table today – they’d go eight points ahead with a win.

Liverpool’s last Premier League game against Southampton was a 4-4 away draw in May 2023 – they conceded as many goals in that game as they had in their previous six visits to St Mary’s combined.

So far, the Reds have won nine of their 11 Premier League games under new head coach Arne Slot (D1 L1). A win over Southampton will see the Dutchman become the joint-fastest manager to reach 10 wins from the start of a Premier League career (12 games), alongside Guus Hiddink in May 2009 and Carlo Ancelotti in November 2009 (both with Chelsea).

Mohamed Salah has both scored and assisted in the same match 35 times in the Premier League (including four already this term), just one shy of Wayne Rooney’s record of 36 games with both a goal and assist in the competition. The Egyptian has been directly involved in 11 goals (7 goals, 4 assists) in 11 Premier League appearances against Southampton.

With around 20 minutes until kick-off, here’s a reminder of how you can watch today’s earlier game.

The Premier League fixture will kick off at 2pm BST on Sunday 24 November at St Mary’s, Southampton.
