Anything other than a Liverpool win would be a surprise here. Klopp's side overcame their recent blip by blowing Arsenal away last weekend and made it five wins from five in what could have been a tough Champions League group in midweek.

Southampton were on a decent run of form before losing to Norwich last time out, taking 10 points from a possible 15 in the last five Premier League games, but this will be too much for them.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Southampton
