Liverpool vs Southampton prediction and odds ahead of FA Cup clash

Fresh from their Carabao Cup victory, Liverpool are set to continue their pursuit of a potential quadruple this season as they host Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round. Despite the physical toll of their extra-time triumph at Wembley, the Reds are anticipated to have the upper hand against a struggling Southampton side.

The Reds are the heavy favourites going into this match at 1/2 with CopyBet while the Saints are 9/2 to produce a shock and a draw at full-time is 7/2.

Liverpool are riding high following their recent 1-0 extra-time victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup. This win marks the first step in their ambitious quest for a quadruple this season. The Reds' recent form has been impressive, with an unbeaten streak in 14 of their last 15 matches across all competitions. This run includes 12 victories, one of which was a decisive 5-2 win over Championship side Norwich in the previous round of the FA Cup.

Liverpool's performances at Anfield have been near flawless, with six consecutive wins across all competitions. However, despite these dominant victories, Jurgen Klopp's squad has struggled to maintain a clean sheet during this run.

Southampton secured their place in the FA Cup fifth round after a replay against Watford. Following a 1-1 draw in their initial meeting, they clinched a 3-0 win at St Mary's Stadium, thanks to goals from Sekou Mara and Che Adams. However, this victory stands as a rare highlight amidst Southampton's recent struggles. Russell Martin's team has suffered three losses in their last four matches across all competitions and will arrive at Anfield on the back of a 2-1 home defeat to Millwall.
