Liverpool under-21s have been in excellent form of late, winning their last four games and putting pressure on the sides above them. 

Their recent loss at Manchester United has been followed with excellent wins against Manchester City, Sunderland, Chelsea and Everton, per FlashScore.com.

The win at home to Chelsea was particularly impressive, with Adi Viveash's youngsters arriving with a big reputation. Goals from prodigious talents Harry Wilson and Jerome Sinclair were enough to defeat the Blues.

Former Liverpool striker Neil Mellor was clearly impressed by the Reds' effort against the west London side:

Southampton boast rising star Ryan Seager, who has impressed greatly since the turn of the year. The 19-year-old was recently named as the inaugural under-21 Player of the Month after his fine showings for the Saints.

The Premier League recognised the achievement:

Seager has displayed all of his predatory instincts during the campaign, scoring 15 times in all competitions, per PremierLeague.com.

And speaking to Southampton's official website, the prolific striker was clearly delighted to be recognised for the new accolade: “To be chosen for the first ever one feels amazing. It’s down to teamwork that an individual wins an award. If they didn’t pass me the ball I wouldn’t score goals." 

He will be the clear and present threat against Liverpool, when the Reds travel down to the south coast to face the Saints.

The Southampton academy is one of the most lauded in the country, with the likes of Gareth Bale, Theo Walcott and Luke Shaw passing through its doors in recent years. 

But the Saints are without a win in their last four and are the underdogs against a buoyant Liverpool unit.

They have collected just one point from those four fixtures, and their season has crumbled in dramatic style. 

Liverpool are the form side in the league, and they will feel they can hurt Southampton and make short work of the home team. 

Wilson is an exceptional prospect, and he will dismantle the Saints defence if he is given the chance.
