Southampton Vs Liverpool Preview<\/h2>\n

Russell Martin Feeling The Pressure<\/h3>\n

Basement dwellers Southampton<\/a> take on runaway leaders Liverpool in a seemingly David vs Goliath battle at St Mary’s this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Saints have just one victory to their name all season. Now, the pressure is really mounting on manager Russell Martin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He doesn’t appear to be fazed, though. Martin was pictured with his girlfriend Lucy Pinder enjoying a much-needed break in Cornwall earlier this week.<\/p>\n

If results don’t pick up, he may find he has plenty more time on his hands with the former glamour model. As aesthetically pleasing as that sounds, he’d rather not be handed his P45.<\/p>\n

Before the international break, Martin’s men succumbed 2-0 to Wolves<\/a>.\u00a0That certainly brought the Saints crashing back down to earth after they beat Everton 1-0 the week before.<\/p>\n

Their Premier League<\/a> survival hopes already look slim at the time of writing. Even if they pull off a shock on Sunday, the Saints will still remain in the bottom three.<\/p>\n

Liverpool Juggernaut Set To Steamroll Saints<\/h3>\n

In contrast, Liverpool<\/a> are riding the crest of a wave. Arne Slot’s side has won nine of their opening 11 fixtures to cement themselves at the top of the table.<\/p>\n

Last time out, the Reds beat Aston Villa in a match that was officiated by the now disgraced referee David Coote<\/a>. A series of videos were released and one appeared to show his dislike for the club and ex-manager Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n

The 2-0 victory at Anfield<\/a> saw Darwin Nunez score just his second Premier League goal of the season with Mo Salah notching his eighth.<\/p>\n

Away from England’s elite, the Merseysiders boast a 100% win record in the new-look UEFA Champions League<\/a> format. Again, they are top of the 36-team league at present.<\/p>\n

Historically, the Reds hold the upper hand over Southampton. They have only tasted defeat once in the last ten top-flight meetings. However, the last meeting at St Mary’s ended 4-4.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Sunday’s match, the best football betting sites<\/a> in the UK price Liverpool as 3\/10 favourites. The draw can be backed at 11\/2 with the Saints 11\/1.<\/p>\n
