Team News
Southampton
Man City
- Oriol Romeu serves the second of a two-match ban and with Steven Davis a doubt, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could start alongside Jordy Clasie once more.
- Claude Puel is without Matt Targett, Charlie Austin, Alex McCarthy and Virgil van Dijk due to injury here, while Manolo Gabbiadini and Sofiane Boufal are doubts.
- Puel could name an unchanged XI for the welcome of Manchester City.
- After sitting out the 3-1 win over Hull, Fernandinho could come back into the side, as may Kevin De Bruyne, with Fabian Delph and Yaya Toure both dropping out of the XI.
- Vincent Kompany is hoping for another start having been an unused sub at the weekend, while Claudio Bravo will perhaps retain his place in goal.
- Pep Guardiola, however, is once more without Ilkay Gundogan, Gabriel Jesus and Bacary Sagna.
My darling city made me proud today; one million thanks goes to Vicent - what a true leader! Sane...huh.. Keep soaring. In a nut-shell, the whole team played well. Ass-nal better be prepared come sunday.
Forster is not a good keeper, I don't rate him at all. Man City were very good and practically played Southampton off the park. I thought this would be more even than it was
Sane and Kompany are back
reminded me of good old times in 2012, Silva`s corner and Kompany scored against MU.
Vince the prince is back!
So'ton 4 - 6 Man City..Off targets so far..No shot on targets yet..Needa see more of City.
I wish soton win
City will win, regrettably for me I must punt mug Guradiola to get 3 points. Southampton are too poor to get anything here, 1-2
BTTS
1:4
City need this to make Euro.
SOUTHAMPTON WIN OR DRAW
Southampton win
City win @ 1 - 2
why are some players deep colored while some are light colored
Southampton are in good form, should be a good game
Southampton 1 - 3 Man City Saints defence not good enough to stop Man City attack from scoring.
It is essential Southampton keep Ward-Prowse on the pitch at all costs. As soon as they take him off they are wide open and struggle to get out and lose the possession battle. I think Saints will be on top for 60 minutes, most likely either 1 goal up or drawing at that stage. After that it depends on Puel's tactics and substitutions.
@Ideas I'm going to say a draw
