Mark Lawrenson makes a prediction for Liverpool vs Southampton game

Liverpool are preparing to host Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday. February 1st. Jurgen Klopp's side are comfortably sitting at the top of the league table as they are currently unbeaten in the Premier League, while Southampton are 9th with 31 points. Ahead of the game, BBC Sport’s Mark Lawrenson has made his prediction. Here is what he said: "Southampton have been great of late, and what a story their rise up the table has been. "But Saints have to go to Anfield next and, even though they are playing extremely well, it is hard to see them upsetting a Liverpool side who are just cruising along at the moment. "The Reds made very easy work of West Ham on Wednesday and I can see this game being a similar story. "I think the time has passed where you can look at Liverpool and think ‘where are they going to slip up?’ in terms of the title race. That ship has sailed, although Jurgen Klopp will keep saying differently until it is mathematically done. "Each week they are getting closer to going the whole league season unbeaten but, for me, whether they manage it or not will be decided once the title has been won and the Champions League has restarted. "Klopp only wants trophies - he is not interested in records or staying unbeaten - so he will chop and change his side then. On Saturday, sadly for Saints, they will be at full strength." source - LiverpoolECHO
