The Anfield faithful will be buzzing as Liverpool return to action, this time in the FA Cup fifth round, following their dramatic EFL Cup victory. The Reds secured their tenth EFL Cup title through an extra-time winner by Virgil Van Dijk, showcasing their fighting spirit even amidst their injury woes. Today Liverpool vs Southampton will go against each other to advance in the FA Cup.

Their Performance So Far

Riding a four-game winning streak, including three crucial Premier League victories, Jurgen Klopp's men are firmly positioned at the top of the table, with a single point separating them from Manchester City. Now, they shift their focus to the FA Cup, where they began their campaign with a convincing 2-0 win over Arsenal in January, followed by a dominant 5-2 thrashing of Norwich City.

Meanwhile, Liverpool vs Southampton promises an intriguing matchup as the Saints look to bounce back from their disappointing 2-1 loss to Millwall in the Championship. This recent slump has placed their automatic promotion hopes in jeopardy, having lost three of their last four league games.

However, Southampton, currently sitting fourth in the Championship, will strive to find their footing in the FA Cup. They boast an impressive record in the first two rounds, securing victories over Walsall and Watford, scoring eight goals while conceding only one.

Liverpool vs Southampton head-to-head statistics favor the Reds significantly. In their last 118 meetings, Liverpool hold a dominant record of 61 wins to Southampton's 31. Moreover, they are unbeaten in their last five encounters against the Saints, winning four, since their 1-0 defeat in January 2021.

What Do We Expect In This Liverpool vs Southampton Match

Furthermore, Southampton have just one loss in their last 14 away games across all competitions, showcasing their resilience on the road. However, Liverpool's home form is nothing short of formidable. They have triumphed in their last six home games across competitions and remain unbeaten at Anfield since February 2023, when they fell to Real Madrid.

Fueled by the momentum from their EFL Cup triumph, Liverpool vs Southampton promises to be an exciting clash. While Klopp might opt for a youthful lineup due to ongoing injuries, expect the Reds to leverage their home advantage and secure a comfortable victory in this FA Cup encounter.
