Prediction for the EFL Cup match which will take place on December 18. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The management of Southampton decided to part ways with head coach Russell Martin following the results of the last weekend in the English Premier League. In the 16th round of the championship of England Southampton met with Tottenham at home arena and once again in the current campaign played terribly in defense. The Saints allowed the opponent to score five goals, but they themselves could not mark a productive strike. For the club, this defeat was already 13 in 16 matches in the EPL. With five points in the asset Southampton continues to go last in the table and has the worst indicator of the league on goals scored - only 11.

The team led by Arne Slot lost points in the last two matches of the championship of England. First Liverpool away win over Newcastle United 3:3, then in the home walls showed character against Fulham, playing in ten men after the removal of Robertson. At Anfield, the Merseyside club snatched a draw - 2:2. In the interval of these performances should have been an away match with Everton, but the meeting was canceled due to bad weather conditions. Despite the loss of points, Liverpool remain top of the EPL table, two points ahead of nearest pursuer Chelsea.

We expect an interesting meeting. Liverpool is unlikely to enter the field with a reserve squad, since in recent matches the results leave much to be desired, and passage to the semifinals will ease the pressure on the team. Here we expect high-scoring match.
