adminLONDON. — Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Dejan Lovren left Southampton hoping for bigger things at Liverpool but when they return to their former club in the English Premier League on Sunday they will look enviously at their former teammates. Southampton are fourth in the table, occupying the final Champions League qualification spot, while Liverpool have endured an indifferent season and lie seventh, four points adrift of Ronald Koeman’s side.
After six months and 25 games, the weekend brings the reverse fixtures of the first matches of the campaign.
When Koeman lost his first competitive game in charge of Southampton 2-1 at Anfield it looked as though the season might unfold as most pundits had predicted. — Soccernet.
