Southampton vs Liverpool – Three Things To Look Forward To

Jose Fonte vs. Daniel Sturridge

Daniel Sturridge getting better with every match for the Reds

Southampton have the best defensive record in the league and much credit goes to the consistency of their skipper Jose Fonte, who has led them in the defence. He is not the perfect center back, but he has worked hard to build a resilient back four which has conceded less than 20 goals this season in the league. Daniel Sturridge is a menacing striker to say the least as we all know how good a finisher he is when he gets chances.

Sturridge has great pace to fend off defenders and even though he may lack the trickery or unpredictability of some technically gifted forwards, he can surely get his goals based on sheer positioning and speed off the mark while playing on the shoulder of the last defender. Fonte is not the quickest in terms of movement, and as a traditional center back, he would have to be wary of the Englishman’s presence, who has proved to be a match winner.
