Liverpool v Southampton odds and best bets as striker gets chance to snap back into form

Only one team has taken points off Liverpool all season.

And we're into the February fixtures.

The Reds will drop points some time, some place, won't they? But will it be against the Saints on Saturday? We asked our Liverpool correspondent Paul Gorst what he expects to see at Anfield in our betting preview.

Win, lose or draw?

It has to be a home win, doesn't it? Liverpool haven't dropped a point at Anfield all season, and this is unlikely to change this weekend. Thepools.com make the Reds 2/7 for the home win , which is about standard.

Who's a good bet for 1st scorer?

Divock Origi has been a bit subdued in his last two games but with the Belgium forward set to start again against the Saints, could this be the game to snap him back into form? He's a fairly big 17/4 to open the scoring .

Who's on pens?

Mohamed Salah. (Landing Wednesday's top tip. *Ed). He netted from 12 yards for his 16th of the season on Wednesday night (told you), so expect him to step up if the Reds get a spot kick at Anfield. He's 3/1 to open the scoring this time and 4/5 to score at any time .

Will Liverpool keep a clean sheet?

Yes. Anfield has become an absolute fortress and the Reds have shipped just 15 goals all season. Expect that to continue. A 'No' in the Both Teams To Score box is a solid 4/5 .
