Southampton Form

Southampton are bottom of the Premier League and have taken just 11 points from 35 matches. The Saints will be guaranteed to finish 20th if they draw or lose against Man City.

Ivan Juric’s team are on a 12-match winless run and have lost 10 of these games. Southampton earned their last point from a 1-1 draw at West Ham, which came before a 2-1 home loss to Fulham.

The Saints suffered their 28th defeat of the Premier League campaign on Saturday and lost 2-0 at Leicester. Juric’s outfit allowed 1.61 XG, were two down at half time and couldn’t reply.

Southampton Injuries & Team News

Southampton have no injuries or suspensions.

Paul Onuachu is likely to lead the line after scoring two goals in his last three appearances at home.

Man City Form

Pep Guardiola’s Man City have boosted their chances of Champions League qualification recently. City are the Premier League’s most in-form team, notching 16 points from six games, and sit third in the table.

The Citizens started a recent five-match winning spell with a 5-2 comeback victory against Crystal Palace. Further wins came against Everton 2-0, Aston Villa 2-1 and Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the FA Cup.

City added to their run of victories with a 1-0 home triumph against Wolves. It was an even contest, where City had 0.86-0.62 XG and Kevin De Bruyne struck the winner before half time.

Man City Injuries & Team News

Midfielder Rodri and defensive duo John Stones and Nathan Aké remain unavailable with injuries.

City’s top scorer, Erling Haaland, is expected to return here after a long injury lay-off.

Verdict

Southampton v Man City

Southampton have been outplayed in most Premier League matches this season and that is unlikely to change against City. The Citizens are in fine form and can add to their winning run with an away triumph.
