MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
The last nine meetings, all of which were Premier League games, have produced five Southampton wins and four Liverpool victories.
The Reds are looking to win a third successive league game against Saints - something they last did between 1994 and 1995.
Southampton
They have suffered just one defeat in their last nine league matches (W6, D2).
However, Saints are winless in four league and cup home games (D2, L2) since beating Arsenal on New Year's Day. They have also failed to score in their last two matches at St Mary's.
Southampton's tally of 17 goals conceded is the lowest in the Premier League this season.
They have allowed their opponents just 66 shots on target this season - the lowest tally in the top flight.
Saints' leading scorer Graziano Pelle has failed to net in his last eight league games, with his last strike coming against Everton on 20 December.
Liverpool
The Reds are unbeaten in nine top-flight games (W6, D3), and are the only side yet to lose a Premier League match this year.
In all competitions they have suffered just one defeat in 17 league and cup games (W11, D5).
Jordan Henderson has 10 assists in all competitions this season - four more than any other Liverpool player.
Daniel Sturridge has not scored a Premier League away goal for 11 months, failing to net in five appearances during that time.

United are gone they're a terrible side and LVG doesn't know what he's doing
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They are gonna be challenging for the title next season though in my opinion. They've spent a crazy amount and they are gonna do it again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not under LVG they won't, I don't usually dismiss like this but he's not for a clue what he's at, has some top players and all they do is lump it long, di Maria is wasted and Rooney is playing fecking DM.
Plus the fans are expecting to be back at the top immediately and won't lower their expectations meaning no manager gets a proper go at it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the difference between LVG and rodgers..
Maria was better at the start of the season, fresh from madrid, LVG has coached him in to the ground..
How many of our players were poor arriving from other teams and now are integral?

True and LVG just doesn't seem to have any idea of how to set up his side, who is best players are and they look like they have no motivation.
The ego and bravado pulled the wool over the fans eyes he is spent as a top manager especially in this league.
And again the expectation is what will kill them the most, fans expect to much immediately cause they have a few good players and used to win things, just like our fans did in the 90s.
No manager will get a proper crack at it, maybe giggs would

Henry is right about Ibe. His understanding of the game is excellent for a young man.

I wonder what happens now rvp is out. for all the united fans complaints hes their top scorer on 10 this season
rooney will move forward no doubt,but who do they bring into midfield tocover that shaky defence? some of those players LVG mistrusted so much hes played a striker in their positions?
and then how many games till they get up to speed, especially playing once a week
