Liverpool are still very much challenging for the title after three straight Premier League victories, but Jurgen Klopp’s side have not been overly convincing in any of those games.
The Reds were almost made to pay for some sloppy defending when beating Burnley 4-2 and Fulham 2-1 before the international break.
It then took a Toby Alderweireld own goal to finally see off Tottenham 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday, with Spurs missing a couple of good chances on the break after Lucas Moura had levelled.
Beating Liverpool will be tough, with Saints having lost the last three head-to-head battles by an aggregate score of 8-0, but I do fancy them to grab a consolation goal this time.
2:1 Liverpool win
