Liverpool v Southampton: Supercomputer predicts major Anfield result
Liverpool face Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, and a supercomputer has predicted the outcome of the fixture.
Anfield will host Ivan Juric’s team on 8 March as the Saints look to get some much-needed points on the board as they sit at the bottom of the table.
Arne Slot’s team are favourites for the Premier League title with a 13-point lead over second-place Arsenal, who have one game in hand.
The Reds will be in high spirits after beating Paris Saint-Germain in their previous fixture at the Parc des Princes.
Slot set for joy in Liverpool v Southampton
Southampton have an 8 per cent chance of winning against the Merseyside outfit, according to Opta Analyst.
The supercomputer has given the Reds a 79 per cent chance of getting the victory at Anfield on Saturday.
| Premier Leage table (2024/25) | Matches played | Points |
| 1. Liverpool | 28 | 67 |
| 2. Arsenal | 27 | 54 |
| 3. Nottingham Forest | 27 | 48 |
| 4. Manchester City | 27 | 47 |
A draw stands at 12 per cent probability, meaning Slot will potentially be a happy man at the end of the 90 minutes against the Saints.
Liverpool’s victory could increase the gap at the top of the table as Arsenal face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday (9 March).
Anfield set for Premier League title celebrations
Unless something drastic happens, Anfield will once again witness the Premier League title coming to Merseyside.
The Reds have been left disappointed over the last few seasons after going toe-to-toe with Manchester City and failing to win the league more than once.
When Jurgen Klopp decided to leave last season, supporters felt the Merseyside outfit would need a revamp and a few years to settle under the new manager.
Slot has defied the odds at Anfield and is on course to having a successful campaign in his first year in charge, which isn’t something many thought would happen.
Apart from their success in the English top flight, the Reds beat PSG 1-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday (5 March), with the second leg at home on 11 March.
It would be unprecedented if the Dutch manager could win multiple trophies in his first season at the Reds, and the Carabao Cup final on 16 March against Newcastle presents the first opportunity of silverware.
The Merseyside outfit are out of the FA Cup but still have a chance to pull off something special by the end of the campaign.
