Key Statistics Ahead of Southampton v Liverpool

Under the guidance of new head coach Arne Slot, Liverpool has secured victory in nine out of 11 Premier League matches. Should Liverpool defeat Southampton, the Dutch manager would achieve the milestone of 10 wins from the commencement of a Premier League career at the joint-fastest rate, a feat previously accomplished by Guus Hiddink in May 2009 and Carlo Ancelotti in November 2009, both while managing Chelsea. Furthermore, Mohamed Salah has registered both a goal and an assist in the same Premier League fixture on 35 occasions. This season alone, he has achieved this four times, placing him just one instance shy of the 36-game record held by former Everton and Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney. Against the Saints, Salah has contributed directly to 11 goals, comprising seven goals and four assists, across 11 league appearances.
