Southampton

Liverpool will be looking to further validate their status as title challengers as they travel to the south coast to play Southampton at St Mary's Stadium on Saturday.
Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool (17-5-5) are unbeaten in eight games and have smashed four past local rivals Everton and five past title challengers Arsenal in that run of excellent results. Even free-scoring Manchester City saw their goal tally trumped by the rampant Reds last weekend, courtesy of a high-octane 4-3 victory over Swansea. Despite being exposed repeatedly on defence, Rodgers insists his team will continue to play the same style of football for the remainder of the campaign.
