Liverpool are set to resume Premier League action this weekend after the international break, but there’s a chance the match may be postponed.
Due to severe weather conditions across the country, the Met Office has issued a yellow warning for the Hampshire area, forecasting strong gales from Saturday afternoon to Sunday night.
The winds, which could reach speeds of 60-70 mph along the coast and 50-60 mph inland, may affect the match against Southampton. While the game is still likely to proceed, the weather could have an impact on the proceedings.
Both teams, known for their style of football, may see the conditions affect the flow of the game. Arne Slot arrives at St. Mary’s with several injury concerns, and Russell Martin has confirmed similar issues for his players, so a few extra days of rest could be beneficial for both sides.
However, with a packed fixture schedule ahead, it’s likely both managers will push through the weather and injuries to get the match played.
Although Slot may have experienced various weather challenges in the UK, this week’s conditions could offer a new test.
Given his track record in overcoming challenges, we can trust that the 46-year-old will have a plan to navigate the strong winds and secure another win.
