Southampton will be looking to get more points on the board on Friday when they host Liverpool.

The visitors are still very much in the Premier League title race as they arrive on the South Coast, but recent results has seen Saints gaining belief that they can steer clear of relegation this campaign.

Their record against top-six sides has improved under Ralph Hasenhuttl and they can play with some of the pressure off of their shoulders with five points between them and the drop zone.

Whilst an interesting match-up is expected on the pitch, the philosophies of managers Hasenhuttl and Jurgen Klopp will also provide interesting viewing.

The meeting between the Saints and the Reds back in September saw a 3-0 victory for Klopp’s men but it could prove a totally different clash this time around.
