Southampton vs Liverpool Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips: Expect Liverpool Dominance Over Managerless Saints
After finally sacking Russell Martin, all eyes are on who will be the next Southampton manager, with Kasper Hjulmand the current betting favourite. In the meantime, Southampton face one of the toughest fixtures they could possibly have with Arne Slot's Liverpool coming to town.
This game will kick off at 8pm on Wednesday and can be watched live on Sky Sports Football.
Southampton vs Liverpool Prediction
Southampton have been absolutely terrible so far this season and if results don't improve, are genuinely in trouble of breaking Derby County's 2007/08 record of only 11 league points. A record that seemed on par with Chelsea's 15 goals conceded season in difficulty of being broken.
Russell Martin has finally been relieved of his duties, and it seems U21's boss, Simon Rusk, has been thrown to the wolves for this Carabao Cup game against a Liverpool side that, despite last Sunday's draw to Fulham, is in amazing form.
The Carabao Cup is Arne Slot's first chance at earning some silverware in his first season at Liverpool, which he will be desperate to do. Liverpool, who are the current Carabao Cup champions will be hungry to repeat last season's achievement and I don't expect Slot to field a weakened side on Wednesday night.
The odds of Liverpool to win by 2+ goals at 21/20 seem far too good to turn down.

Possibly the only bright spark in Southampton's season has been the emergence of young talent Tyler Dibling. The 18-year-old has been a standout performer in recent weeks, showcasing his attacking instincts and composure on the ball.
Dibling has shown a willingness to take on defenders and test the goalkeeper when given space, even against stronger opponents. He looked fantastic in games against Manchester United and Liverpool this season, earning the Saints a penalty in both of these games.
One market worth considering in this game is for Dibling to pick up a shot on target. His confidence to strike from range, coupled with his ability to find pockets of space, makes this a promising bet.
Dibling is priced at 19/10 to register a shot on target, which feels like a nice price.
