There is just the 1 English Premier League match taking place on Monday with Southampton hosting Liverpool and we take a look at the game from a betting angle.
Southampton have fallen to 9th on the table and they are without a victory in their last 4 games although 3 of those matches were drawn. Last time out they played a goalless draw at home to West Ham, but prior to that a goalless draw away at Fulham.
Southampton have now gone 4 games without scoring and all 4 of those games would have delivered for under 2.5 goal backers. They have won 50% of their 8 home matches they have played this season and Southampton home matches have averaged 2.8 goals each with under 2.5 goals arriving in 5 of the 8 games.
Liverpool are top of the table on goal difference ahead of Manchester United with both teams having played 16 matches. Looking at their recent form they are unbeaten in their last 5, but 3 of those games have been draws including a goalless draw away at Newcastle last time out and a 1-1 draw at home to West Brom prior to that.
Liverpool have only won 2 of their 8 away matches this season and while their away games averaged 3.5 goals each that is skewed by the 7-0 hammering of Crystal Palace on the road a couple of weeks back. Five of the 8 Liverpool away matches have had 2 goals or less in them.
Liverpool will be looking for their 7th successive League victory against Southampton having won this fixture 2-1 last season and the reverse 4-0.

Southampton 79/20
Draw 16/5
Liverpool 13/20
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 12/10
This is always a risky bet to take when Liverpool play, but both of these sides are struggling for fluency at the moment and I think Southampton can set out to frustrate Liverpool early on.
Remember there are a host of markets to bet on in this game, including first goal scorer where Mo Salah is a 31/10 favourite and you can get 21/4 that a player will be sent off in the match and an interesting play I quite fancy is multi-scores where you can get 49/20 that Liverpool win the game 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0.
