LionsBet Preview: Southampton v Liverpool: Back Mohamed Salah to score anytime

Liverpool make a trip to St Mary's Stadium to confront Southampton in Sunday’s English Premier League encounter.

Having failed to secure victory in their last outing against Tottenham Hotspur, no thanks to Harry Kane’s late-minute penalty, the Reds know that anything short of the maximum points in this duel could see them slip out of the top-four.
