Southampton Vs Liverpool: 5 Key Battles That Will Define The Game

1. Luis Suarez Vs The Southampton Defence

How do you deal with Luis Suarez? It is a question that Premier League managers have been asking themselves all season and very few have managed to accomplish; He has been simply scintillating this season and is the league's leading scorer with 22 goals. I couldn't pick out one defender who is going to be able to stop him because it is going to have to be a team effort, with the help of holding midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin to stop him from having an impact on the game. As we have seen this season if he gets a sniff at goal he will, more often than not, take it and punish teams and his main strength is his superb movement, on and off the ball, that makes it so difficult for defenders to pick him up. He will most likely start just behind Sturridge in a free role which will allow him to play all across the front line, meaning all of the Southampton defenders will have to keep one eye out for him. I can't on see Suarez not having an impact this game and once again I think he will be the difference maker in what I'm predicting as a Liverpool victory. What do you think about this match? Can Liverpool really get into the top four? Comment below.
