💻 Southampton v Liverpool Form and Tactics

Southampton were left propping up the Premier League table following their 2-0 defeat to Wolves. While Russell Martin’s men dominated possession (71%) at Molineux, they lacked a cutting edge in the final third. The Saints posted a lowly xG return of just 0.66 and failed to hit the target with each of their nine efforts on goal. That has been a recurring theme for shot-shy Southampton this season, who are the lowest-scoring side in the division, striking just seven times thus far.

Southampton have been one of the most ill-disciplined teams in the Premier League this season. They have racked up 37 yellow cards across their opening 11 outings of the campaign, an average of 3.36 per-game. The Saints are also one of five teams to have been shown two or more red cards in the top-flight this term, both of which were brandished at St Mary’s.

Liverpool look like a well oiled machine under Arne Slot. The Reds made it nine wins from 11 in the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa. Liverpool won the shots on target count 5-2 and produced a 2.02 xG output to Villa’s tally of 1.38. They also dictated the tempo with the game, having enjoyed 62% possession. 

Liverpool didn’t receive a single card during their 2-0 win over Aston Villa. In fact, the Reds have been one of the most well behaved sides in the Premier League this season, collecting just 21 yellow cards to date. However, Slot’s side are drawing an average of three yellows per 90 from their top-flight opponents this term.

While Liverpool are traditionally a strong team when it comes to earning corners, it’s worth noting that they have hit three or fewer flag-kicks in three of their last four league games.
