Liverpool is gearing up to host Southampton at Anfield on March 8, 2025, in what promises to be an intriguing Premier League matchup. The Reds, under Arne Slot's guidance, have been in impressive form lately, winning six of their last ten matches and boasting a perfect home record in their last three games at Anfield.The home side enters this clash with momentum on their side after notable away victories against PSG in the Champions League and Manchester City in the Premier League. These wins have showcased Liverpool's ability to perform against top-quality opposition, though a surprising FA Cup exit to Plymouth in February proves they're not invincible.Southampton, meanwhile, has been struggling to find consistency under Ivan Jurić. With just two wins from their last ten matches and a concerning defensive record having conceded 27 goals during that stretch, the Saints face a daunting task at one of the league's most intimidating venues. Their away form offers little encouragement – just one win from their last four road trips.

The history books don't make pleasant reading for Southampton fans. In previous encounters, Liverpool has dominated with 30 wins compared to Southampton's 12, with 10 draws between the sides. The goal difference is equally telling – Liverpool has netted 101 times against the Saints, who've managed 54 in return.The most recent meeting between these teams ended in a 2-1 victory for Liverpool at Southampton's ground back in December 2024. Can Southampton flip the script this time around? History suggests it's unlikely, but football's unpredictability is why we love it!Anfield has been a fortress for Liverpool this season. They've won all three of their most recent home games, scoring 8 goals while conceding just once. That's the kind of form that gives managers sleepless nights when preparing to visit Merseyside.

With Liverpool showing their championship credentials in recent weeks, particularly with that statement victory at the Etihad against Man City, Southampton will need to produce something special to get a result.The Saints did show they can win on the road with their 2-1 victory against Ipswich in February. That performance might serve as a blueprint for Jurić's men. Still, Liverpool presents a completely different challenge.The bookmakers clearly favor the home side, giving Liverpool an 84.4% chance of victory compared to just 5.6% for Southampton, with a 10% probability of a draw. Those odds reflect both teams' current form and historical matchups.Liverpool's attacking threat has been evident with 19 goals in their last ten games, while Southampton's defensive frailties (27 goals conceded in ten matches) could be their undoing. Will Jurić opt for a defensive approach hoping to frustrate the hosts? Or will we see a more adventurous Southampton willing to trade punches?

Anfield under the lights (or even during daytime kickoffs) creates an atmosphere few stadiums can match. The famous Liverpool faithful will be in full voice, creating that intimidating environment that has helped push their team over the line countless times.Southampton's traveling fans face a long journey north but will no doubt make themselves heard as they attempt to inspire an unlikely result. The Saints supporters have stuck with their team through some difficult moments this season, and they'll be dreaming of an upset.With Premier League points so valuable at this stage of the season, both managers will be emphasizing the importance of this fixture. For Liverpool, it's about maintaining their impressive home record and keeping pace at the top of the table. For Southampton, any points gained at Anfield would be considered a bonus in their battle for Premier League survival.When the teams take the field on March 8, we'll see if form and history prevail or if Southampton can spring a surprise. Kick-off is set for 3:00 PM, and you won't want to miss this one!
