It has been a tough couple of weeks in the Premier League for Southampton and things don’t look to be getting any easier here in the Carabao Cup, as they welcome Liverpool. The reds have hit their first rocky patch of sorts in the Premier League, but they are sitting pretty at the top of the table and still dreaming of a quadruple once again. For Southampton, the cup could be a welcome distraction from the rigours of the relegation battle, but Liverpool will be chasing more silverware.

Southampton vs Liverpool Analysis
This should be a super contest at St Mary’s Stadium, with both sides eager to reach the last 4.
Southampton
A 5-0 thumping at the hands of Tottenham will have seriously hurt Southampton last weekend and Russell Martin will be looking for a response from his troops here. The Saints pushed Liverpool all the way earlier in the campaign, ending up losing 3-2 and they should take heart from that. Clearly, they are a side low on confidence and not much seems to be going their way at the moment, but the cup could be a distraction of sorts.
Team news: Gavin Bazunu, Aaron Ramsdale and Jan Bednarek are all out of action for the Saints.
Southampton Predicted Lineup:
McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Sagawara, Harwood-Bellis, Stephens, Bree, Aribo, Downes, Dibling, Armstrong & Archer.
Liverpool
Following an incredible start to the season, momentum is building behind the Liverpool title bid with many punters and Premier League betting sites. The reds are the Carabao Cup holders, and they won’t want to give this trophy up without a fight. Arne Slot’s side are top of the tree in both the Premier League and the Champions League too and they are an unstoppable force, whoever takes to the pitch at the moment.
Team news: Andrew Robertson is suspended, the only issue of note here for Liverpool.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup:
Kelleher, Bradley, Gomes, Quansah, Tsimikas, Endo, Elliott, Jones, Gakpo, Jota & Nunez.
Southampton vs Liverpool Prediction
Having reached the last 8, both of these sides will be dreaming of taking a big step towards Wembley in the Carabao Cup here. Liverpool have rightly been taking all the plaudits this term and are looking imperious in every aspect of their game, whilst the complete opposite could be said of Southampton. Football is a funny game, but it should be all about the rampant Liverpool in this one.
Prediction: Liverpool to win the match – 4/11 (-275) – Rhino Bet.
Southampton vs Liverpool – The Ultimate Bet
Liverpool to win & BTTS – 2/1 (+200) – Fitzdares
Under Russell Martin, Southampton have a playing identity and have caused plenty of sides problems, making them candidates to score here but Liverpool should see them off easily enough.
