Reds to win high-scoring tie

Liverpool have notched six straight wins since losing to Crystal Palace on penalties in the Community Shield, and Arne Slot’s side can kick off their League Cup campaign with a high-scoring win to make it seven victories on the trot.

The Reds took the local bragging rights in the Merseyside derby on Saturday, with that 2-1 win taking their tally to 16 goals from seven competitive games this season, and they have a history of racking up the goals when they face Southampton.

They have scored 26 times in their last nine meetings with the Saints, and the Championship side were on the wrong end of a 3-1 result at Hull on Saturday.

Over 3.5 goals has landed in two of Southampton’s last three games and Liverpool’s last two matches have produced eight goals in total. Four of the last six meetings between these sides have produced four or more goals, with Liverpool scoring exactly three goals in on four occasions, making over 3.5 goals and a 3-1 win for the hosts a solid choice.
