Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu believes they will have a good chance of winning against Liverpool next matchday.

In fact, the Saints midfielder is of the opinion that his team will have a better opportunity in that game compared to their recent clash against Burnley.

Southampton fell to an embarrassing 3-0 defeat during the opening weekend of the season.

Speaking to the Daily Echo, Romeu said: "I think it's important because when teams play long balls, it makes it really hard to get chances.

"It means that we have to be further away from their box when we eventually get the ball and that limits the opportunities we will get on their goal.

"It's easier for us to play against teams who take more risks and play out from the back.

"There will be more chances to score against Liverpool.

"Burnley didn't play anything from the back because it was all long balls which didn't give us the chance to get higher up the pitch.

"The chances will come against Liverpool because they will take more risks and that will give us more opportunities to score goals. Hopefully, we can put them under pressure."
