City, who are on a five-match losing run in all competitions, were beaten 4-0 at home by Tottenham Hotspur a day earlier, offering the Reds a chance to widen their advantage at the summit. Liverpool and City meet on Dec 1 at Anfield.
The last time a team had a bigger lead at the top of the table at this stage of the season was 31 years ago.
Match-winner Mohamed Salah told Sky Sports: "We have a game against them so hopefully, we win it and go 11 points clear. Man City is Man City. They have a bad time now but they have great players."
In the 30th minute, the Saints handed the Reds the lead in a scenario that has played out a few times this season.
