Southampton vs Liverpool prediction and odds: Sadio Mane tipped to score and keep Premier League hopes alive

Liverpool will be looking to leave everything on the pitch this week as the Premier League title race reaches its climax this weekend but first the Reds have a trip to Southampton to deal with. Jurgen Klopp's side sit four points behind league leaders Manchester City after they drew 2-2 with West Ham United last weekend while Liverpool won the FA Cup.

The Reds are the heavy favourites ahead of this match at 2/5 with Betfred while hosts Southampton are 7/1 and a draw is 9/2. Pretty standard considering Liverpool have won 14 of their last 16 league matches and have just crowned themselves FA Cup champions too.

Another domestic cup final concluded with penalties between Liverpool and Chelsea at Wembley in what marks two trophies out of a possible four. In order to keep the elusive quadruple alive, they will need to win their remaining including their trip to the south coast and their final league game which is against Wolves to hold up any chance. City welcome Aston Villa at the weekend with may Liverpool fans praying Steven Gerrard does the job.

Southampton have nothing to play for going into the end of the season as they sit six points clear of the relegation zone and have picked up just one win from their last five matches.
