We return from yet another international break with a trip to the south coast for Sunday’s 2pm game at bottom of the table Southampton.
We crunch the numbers ahead of the big game…
- Liverpool have lost just two of their last 26 Premier League games that have come immediately after an international break (19 wins, five draws).
- Arne Slot’s side created more big chances (41) than any other team in the division during the opening 11 fixtures this season.
- Victory on Sunday would see Slot become the joint-fastest boss to reach 10 wins from the start of a Premier League career (12 games), alongside Guus Hiddink in May 2009 and Carlo Ancelotti in November 2009 (both with Chelsea).
- Mo Salah has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other player this season (14), either scoring (8) or assisting (6) 66% of Liverpool’s goals (21).
- Salah has 7 goals and 4 assists in his previous 11 Premier League appearances against Southampton.
- Liverpool have not yet conceded in the final 15 minutes of a Premier League game this season.
- Liverpool have lost just one of their last seven games at St Mary’s in the Premier League (four wins, two draws), most recently drawing 4-4 on the final day of the 2022-23 season.
