This will be the fourth time in Premier League history both meetings between two sides have been as the top and bottom side in the division, after Manchester United v Swindon Town (1993-94), and Chelsea v Sunderland twice (2005-06, 2016-17).

There are 58 points between Liverpool (67) and Southampton (9) coming into this match. It’s the biggest points difference between two sides coming into a Premier League meeting since July 2020 when Liverpool (86) beat Aston Villa (27) 2-0 at Anfield (59).

Liverpool are unbeaten in each of their last 24 Premier League games (W17 D7). There is only one occasion of a team having a 24+ game unbeaten run ended by the team bottom of the table, with Manchester United losing to Wolves in February 2011 while on a 29-game streak.

Liverpool have scored at least twice in 25 of their Premier League games this season, at least 10 more than any other side. It’s the highest percentage of games (89%) any team has scored multiple goals across a single campaign in the competition.

Since the start of 2022-23, only Wolves (54) have lost more Premier League games than Southampton (47), despite the Saints having an entire season outside of the division in that time.

Mohamed Salah has scored or assisted a goal in 12 of Liverpool’s 13 Premier League games at Anfield this season, including each of his last 11 in a row since the Reds’ only league defeat of the season so far against Nottingham Forest in September. Only two different players have ever had a longer run of goal involvements in home games within a single Premier League season: Alan Shearer twice (13 in 1995-96, 15 in 1996-97) and Thierry Henry (12 in 2002-03).

Dominik Szoboszlai has applied more pressures (677) than any other Liverpool player in the Premier League this season. The Hungarian has been directly involved in six goals in his last 11 appearances in the competition (4 goals, 2 assists), just one fewer than his first 48 beforehand (4 goals, 3 assists).

Only Jean-Philippe Mateta (64) and Jørgen Strand Larsen (58) have attempted more hold-ups in the Premier League this season than Southampton’s Paul Onuachu (44). Indeed, 31 of Onuachu’s have come in 2025, the most of any player in the competition since the turn of the year.
