Anfield Awaits the Solo Saint…
Grab your popcorn because Adam Lallana’s back to lead the Southampton samba against Liverpool! After a February vanishing act, Lallana’s back on stage, making the lonely James Bree the only absentee from the Southampton squad this weekend. Saints’ boss Ivan Juric should wear a cape because he’s managed to conjure Lallana back just in time! Meanwhile, knock-prone Kyle Walker-Peters is playing tag with a fitness bug, but he’s expected to join the party. So, with the gang almost fully assembled, the Saints are ready to boogie at Anfield!
Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool’s tower of power, insists that facing off against Southampton is not a walk in the park. With Liverpool sitting pretty at the top of the league, surely the Reds could be wearing slippers and robes, but Van Dijk is having none of it! According to the Dutch dynamo, “Every game is a gladiator battle,” – well, he didn’t exactly say that, but you get the drift. The Reds have edged out wins against the Saints twice and are anticipating yet another clash of titans.
But don’t be fooled, say the experts at Liverpool.com! Even with a pseudo-Avenger like Lallana in tow, the Saints might need more than a prayer to topple the league leaders. As Liverpool prepares for other mega battles, let’s see if the Saints can cause a divine upset or just end up being honorary spectators to the Anfield symphony!
