It will be Southampton F.C. vs Liverpool F.C. in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, so ahead of the game we have taken a look at stats involving the two sides.
Southampton F.C. vs Liverpool F.C. Stats Ahead Of Wednesday’s 8pm League Cup Clash
Southampton F.C. and Liverpool F.C. meet for the second time in less than four weeks, with the Reds looking to complete an away double against the struggling Saints in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup clash.
Liverpool were pushed hard by bottom-of-the-table Southampton when they met in the Premier League. However, Southampton ultimately fell short as Mohamed Salah struck twice to help his side come from behind in a 3-2 victory.
Southampton have just parted ways with Russell Martin after their 5-0 thrashing by Tottenham. Interim boss Simon Rusk will be handed the tough task of guiding the Saints to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Arne Slot though could rotate his side and a number of academy stars missed their U21 clash with Crystal Palace. This suggests that the likes of Trey Nyoni, Jayden Danns and James Norris might have some involvement on Wednesday.
Liverpool Expected To Reach Semi-Finals
Arne Slot’s side are favourites to reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup over a Southampton side who are without a permanent manager.
At the time of writing with odds subject to change, Liverpool are currently 19/50 with the best football betting sites in the UK to win the clash in 90 minutes.
Southampton are 6/1 to win the tie in regular time, with a draw at 17/4.

Mohamed Salah Rescues Victory For Liverpool In Last Meeting
It would be a surprise to see Mohamed Salah feature on Wednesday given the importance of resting him in the middle of a busy Christmas period.
However, he was the man who stole the show when these sides met in the Premier League last month.
Dominik Szoboszlai handed the Reds the lead but they were stunned to go behind through goals from Adam Armstrong and Matheus Fernandes.
Salah levelled in the 65th minute before scoring the winner from the penalty spot with seven minutes of football left to play.

Cody Gakpo The Man To Watch?
Liverpool’s Dutch attacker has been their biggest threat in the Carabao Cup this season scoring braces in wins over Brighton and West Ham in the last two rounds.
Cody Gakpo also scored a vital goal in the 2-2 draw with Fulham at the weekend, as well as goals in recent victories over Manchester City and Real Madrid.
With Mohamed Salah likely to be rested in the Carabao Cup, Diogo Jota to be phased back into action after returning from an injury and Darwin Nunez struggling for goals, Gakpo could be Liverpool’s biggest goal threat on Wednesday.
