Liverpool have a very strong squad, so despite the likelihood of them resting players, I can't see them losing at home. That said, Southampton do offer a threat going forward, so BTTS may be a good option.

The Reds returned from the international break with a 1-0 away victory at Burnley before a 3-2 home win over Atletico Madrid.

Championship side Southampton have won just three of their opening eight games this season. Two of those wins came in the EFL Cup against Northampton 1-0 and Norwich 3-0.

The Saints are winless in three consecutive matches since the Norwich victory. Will Still’s outfit drew two in a row, 2-2 at Watford and 0-0 at home against Portsmouth.

The South Coast team fell to a 3-1 defeat at Hull on Saturday. Southampton allowed 2.12 XG and trailed 3-0 until Adam Armstrong netted a 95th-minute consolation.

Liverpool have winning momentum and Southampton have struggled for consistency this season. A big home victory is expected in the EFL Cup third round.
