Personal analysis: Liverpool will have no problem winning the Premier League title this season based on the current points ranking and the health of the team members. The current starting position on the front line is relatively fixed. The team pays more attention to ground passing and control in the offense. The organization and connection of the offense are still mainly based on Salah on the right. Jota's effect as a center forward is relatively average, and Diaz's breakthrough effect on the left is still guaranteed. In the front midfielder position, Soboslai and Jones have different focuses. The former is more about strengthening the team's end point, while the latter tends to connect the team's offense. The positions of the team's midfield and backcourt lineup are relatively fixed. Except for some adjustments to the positions of the two full-backs, they are basically fixed. Arnold on the right is more outstanding in offensive ability, but relatively poor in wing defense. There is no obvious shortcoming in the team's current lineup. In addition to the strength, Southampton's poor performance this season is also closely related to the personnel arrangement of head coach Juric. The starting personnel and positions have been adjusted since the beginning of the season, which makes it difficult for the players to improve their tacit understanding on the field. If the team insists on using a single lineup, the results will not be so bad. Archer and Diberlin on the two wings of the forward line are both qualified in breakthrough and crossing ability, especially Diberlin, who still has certain potential. The team's defensive ability in the midfield and backcourt is relatively poor, especially once the rhythm of the field is accelerated, it is obvious that it can't keep up with the rhythm of the Premier League. The right-back Sugawara Yusei's offensive cooperation with Diberlin on the right at the beginning of the season is actually not bad. I don't understand why the head coach didn't insist on the play of these two people.

In terms of strength, Liverpool is much stronger than the Saints. Liverpool just won Paris Saint-Germain away from home with difficulty in the last round. There is a high probability that they will rotate in this game. After all, there is only one day between this game and the last round, and there is the second round of the Champions League in three days, which requires too much physical strength from the players. In this game, Liverpool's home game concedes 2.5 goals, which is normal. Even if Liverpool rotates the lineup, they still have enough advantages. However, the defense line is not reliable with Kwansa and Bradley. Without the cooperation of the forward line, Liverpool's goal efficiency will not be too high. Therefore, Lao Li still recommends Southampton + 2.5 wins in this game, and the score is expected to be 2-0 or 3-1.
