The Reds keep attacking the Southampton box, leaving the hosts penned in their own half. However, the Saints are not doing badly in defence.
In the run-up to this match, we would like to remind you that Salah has become the first player in Europe's top leagues to reach 10 goals and 10 assists this season!
"We indeed have incredible fixtures coming up, starting with Southampton," added Slot. "It's not going to be easy even if everyone feels it is (because they are) bottom of the league. (Southampton) do not play at all like this and they made it difficult for teams that are in the top three of four. Their playing style is very interesting, it is a joy to watch their games."

But Slot is wary of the threat posed by the Saints, who have often dominated possession without reward on their return to the top-flight.

A trip to bottom-of-the-table Southampton appears the ideal appetiser to two huge clashes as Madrid visit Anfield on Wednesday before a showdown with City on December 1st.

"It would be a bit strange if I tell you I'm not enjoying being in the position we are in now, but we also understand we're only 11 (league) games in now, so that's a lot of games to be played," said Slot at his pre-match press conference on Friday.

That has propelled Liverpool into a five-point lead over City at the top of the Premier League and to the summit of the new-format Champions League.
