Liverpool take on Southampton at the St Mary’s Stadium on Sunday in the Premier League.

The Saints beat West Brom 3-2 last weekend to end a 12-match streak without a victory.

The win opened up a two-point gap between themselves and the drop zone.

Despite heading into the Liverpool clash in high spirits they have not won a home Premier League game since November.

The visitors meanwhile were twice pegged back by Tottenham last Sunday in a controversial 2-2 draw.

Without getting into the debate over whether the penalty decisions were correct it is worth pointing out that Liverpool have lost just one of their last 17 league games.

Interestingly enough the one defeat was against Swansea. Liverpool have actually fared worse against side in the bottom half of the table at times this season.
