Betting tips for Liverpool vs Southampton 22.09.2018

The runner-up of Europe opens the sixth day of the Premier League receiving in Anfield to Southampton of Mark Hughes.

Liverpool is coming off a great 17-18 season. Only Karius' mistakes and Mohamed Salah's untimely injury left them with no options to fight Real Madrid in the Champions League. The German Jürgen Klopp starts his third full season on the bench of Anfield, and does so with total confidence both owners and fans.

The network team has been strengthened with the signings of Naby Keita (RB Leipzig), Fabinho (AS Monaco), Xherdan Shaqiri (Stoke City), and the international goal Alisson (AS Roma), which makes Klopp are starting as one of the favorites to dispute the title of league to Manchester City, maintaining the trident formed by Salah, Firmino and Mané, and incorporating players who fit in the way to see the soccer of Klopp like Keita and Fabinho.

In the preseason, the Merseyside team won their first two friendlies in England, before losing to Borussia Dortmund (1-3), winning the City of Guardiola (1-2) and beating Manchester United (1-4) in the ICC. Then he thrashed Ancelotti's Naples (5-0) and defeated Torino 3-1. In the Premier League debut, he thrashed West Ham 4-0, defeated Crystal Palace (0-2), won Brighton & Hove Albion (1-0), suffered to win in Leicester (1-2 ) and won at Wembley Tottenham (1-2) last Saturday. On Tuesday, he won 3-2 at PSG in the Champions League.

Dejan Lovren and Oxlade-Chamberlain are injured for this match.

Southampton has maintained confidence in Mark Hughes, although the Saints were saved by mistakes of their rivals rather than by their own merits last year. The team debuted with a draw at home to a Burnley who has only drawn that point in the first 5 days, weighed down by the huge wear of playing the previous Europa League. On the first trip of the campaign, the Saints fell at Goodison Park to Everton (2-1) and a week later, they made their ex-coach, the ill-fated Claude Puel, happy with Leicester City ( 1-2).

With no time to even talk about a crisis, the team won in Brighton in the second round of the Carabao Cup (0-1) and broke its poor streak in league with a victory in Selhurst Park before a Crystal Palace that missed his great star, Wilfried Zaha. Last weekend, he was allowed to draw at home for Brighton (2-2).

Thus, after the first 4 days, the Saints occupy the 13th position with 4 points out of 12 and a balance of 4 goals in favor and 4 against. Former Liverpool forward Danny Ings, possibly the most important signing of those who have come to St.Mary's this summer, has scored two of those, playing all four games after almost two years with the Reds.

Shane Long, Charlie Austin and Jan Bednarek are doubts for this match.
