Southampton host Liverpool this weekend as we look forward to an entertaining game at the St. Mary Stadium. The Saints would be on the guard ahead of the match as the visiting side is in confident mood ahead of the trip on Saturday.
This presents a special weekend where giants Liverpool competes with modest Premier League side Southampton as quality differs among both sides on the pitch. As Southampton gets set to welcome Liverpool, we take a look at three Reds star that can make the St. Mary’s fixture a memorable one in the Premier League.
The Senegalese International would make the trip to the Saints along with his Liverpool teammate as we await the fans’ reception for the player following his positive stint at the club. Mane spent two seasons with Southampton after moving from Austrian giants Salzburg some seasons ago. His performance against Chelsea makes him a potential figure in this fixture as the match looms in earnest. Mane’s attacking contribution will steer a frenetic atmosphere for EPL viewers as he returns to the ground where he haunted big sides like Chelsea and Arsenal most importantly.
As the English midfield player travels with Jurgen Klopp troops much would be expected of him as he looks set to take the place of club captain Jordan Henderson in the starting eleven ahead of the Southampton fixture. He’s been an impressive figure for the host along with Rickie Lambert as they wowed the fans with good performances especially on their first EPL match and the win against Champions EPL Manchester City following their promotion to the Premier League. They’ve given the Saints positive memories to remember in the past even as we evaluate Lallana’s performance on the Liverpool shirt.
The match presents an ideal opportunity for the Dutch International to return to his former club Southampton. This will be based on the virtue and spirit of sportsmanship as the Reds center back marshaled the Liverpool’s defense to great effect. All eyes would be on the players as Liverpool seems to have stolen everything possible from Southampton on transfer ground as Liverpool recruited the three aforementioned players from Southampton in the season past even as we look forward to the Reds/Saints clash with much excitement.
