Comments:

League position: 5th Southampton have now so far conceded 19 goals in the Premier League in this season - fewer than any other team. They had lost only one of their preceding nine Premier League games. The Saints have now failed to score in their last three home games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 6th Liverpool have now completed a run of five consecutive away league games without conceding a goal for the first time since March to May in 1985 in League Division One. 30 years ago, that run ended at Southampton when David Armstrong scored for the Saints in a 1-1 draw at The Dell. They are now unbeaten in their last ten Premier League games, the longest such run in the division. The Reds are the only team who had yet to lose in the Premier League in 2015. Liverpool have now lost only one of their last 18 games in all competitions. The Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Liverpool’s second goal against Southampton on Sunday 22nd February 2015 has been confirmed as a Raheem Sterling goal. (Circular 21 – 26th February 2015)
