Is Southampton vs Liverpool on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture tonight
Southampton and Liverpool are both looking to start 2021 with a win after draws in their respective final Premier League games of last year.
The Saints will be hoping that their luck against the Reds is set to change in the New Year, as Southampton have lost each of their last six games to the champions.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been a big reason for those results, with the Egyptian scoring seven goals in his six league clashes against Southampton.
With a win on the south coast, Jurgen Klopp’s side would move three points clear at the top of the Premier League.

What is the team news?
Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl returns to the dugout for the visit of Liverpool on Monday night after his self-isolation during the West Ham draw. Jannik Vestergaard and Nathan Redmond remain out, while goalkeeper Alex McCarthy tested positive for coronavirus on Sunday evening, ruling him out here.
Jurgen Klopp could recall Georginio Wijnaldum to the side after he was rested at Newcastle, while Thiago could make just his second league start of the season. Nat Phillips will likely keep his place alongside Fabinho with Joel Matip out.
Predicted line-ups
Southampton: Forster, Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Stephens, Bertrand, Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Walcott, Adams, Ings
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Fabinho, Robertson, Thiago, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Mane
Odds
Southampton: 4/1
Draw: 16/5
Liverpool: 8/13
Prediction
Southampton are a dangerous outfit, proving that they can step up and threaten teams. Liverpool will be wary though, and with Thiago finding form and Manchester United applying pressure, I think the Reds will find a way to win their first Premier League game of 2021. Southampton 0-2 Liverpool.
