It has largely been smooth sailing for Arne Slot in his opening few months in charge of the Reds.
The Dutchman has won 15 of his 17 games in charge of the club thus far, ensuring the standards remain very high indeed despite the departure of an icon in Jurgen Klopp.
Saints have struggled since their promotion from the Championship, winning only one of their opening 11 games. Beaten by relegation rivals Wolves last time out, they’re up against it here.
