Southampton v Liverpool Tip

Suarez will grab all the pre-match headlines but the top scoring Englishman in the PL will fancy his chances too.

Liverpool head to Saint Mary’s Stadium on impressive form and their best odds of 20/21 (BetVictor) to win are probably justified. However, that doesn’t mean Southampton won’t score, something they have done against almost all the top teams.

And when you think of the Saints scoring you inevitably think of one man in particular - Rickie Lambert. The 6ft 2in striker has notched an impressive 12 goals in 24 top flight appearances in 2012-13 which would suggest he should be something close to an evens money shot to score on any given day. We can pick him up today at the market-leading price of 5/2 with Skybet.

This is obviously because the Reds are fearsome opponents, but Lambert has proved he can mix it with the very best already. The top scoring Englishman in the Premier League found the net against Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea. We should therefore see him as good value to add to his tally on Saturday.
