Liverpool have been backed to complete a convincing home win over Southampton today.
The Reds take on the Saints at Anfield in their next Premier League clash. It will also be Liverpool’s final fixture before the mid-season break due to the World Cup in Qatar.
Jurgen Klopp ’s side claimed a win over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend in their recent league fixture. And now Chris Sutton has handed out his prediction for the match against Southampton.

Sutton believes that Liverpool will claim a 3-0 win over the Saints, which is the same prediction handed out by Paul Merson.
Sutton told the BBC : “Nathan Jones takes charge of Southampton for the first time here, but how much difference can he make in a couple of days?
“Saints just don't score enough goals anyway, but Anfield is not exactly the ideal place to go for a club to get a managerial bounce.
“Admittedly my record of predicting Liverpool's results this season has been a bit hit and miss, but I didn't just call their win at Tottenham last week, I nailed the exact result.
“I'm still not absolutely sure the Reds will win this one, just because of their inconsistency, but given their season so far, I think Jurgen Klopp will be absolutely desperate to go into this winter break on a high.”
