Match week 28 of the current season of the Premier League will begin on 8 March with four scheduled games. One of them will take place at the Anfield Stadium where the home team Liverpool F.C. will host Southampton F.C. The game on Saturday will be their second meeting in the 2024/25 season. The first one took place on 24 November and ended in a 2 – 3 loss for the hosting Southampton.
Liverpool keeps confidently leading the league table with a 13 points difference between them and their closest rival for the champion title, Arsenal. For Southampton, this season hasn’t been a particularly favourable one. They are currently at the bottom of the league table and are facing relegation to the EFL Championship.
Earlier this season, The Saints fired their manager Russell Martin after a catastrophic 0 – 5 loss against Tottenham Hotspur in December. They played for a while under an interim coach Simon Rusk, until Ivan Jurić was signed on 21 December 2024 for an 18 month contract.
Liverpool has been playing under a new head coach since June 2024. With the success they have achieved in the season so far, it seems very unlikely that Arne Slot will be replaced any time soon.
Currently, the Premier League 2024/25 season table looks the following:
| Position | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | Points | Qualification |
| 1 | Liverpool | 28 | 20 | 7 | 1 | 67 | Qualification for the Champions League league phase |
| 2 | Arsenal | 27 | 15 | 9 | 3 | 54 | |
