A look back at the most recent meetings between Liverpool and Southampton

Liverpool travel to Southampton on Sunday as they look to go eight points clear at the summit.

The recent meetings and the form of both suggest the Reds are clear favorites to do so but Arne Slot will know how difficult Russell Martin's possession-based Saints side can be.

Here we look at the last few meetings between the two sides.

The teenage forward had already lifted a superb dinked finish over Joe Lumley before he gobbled up a rebound to get his brace late on.

Other youngsters who impressed included James McConnell, Bobby Clark and then sixteen year old Trey Nyoni.
