Southampton vs Manchester City
Manchester City continue their push for a top five finish as they travel to already relegated Southampton for an English Premier League fixture on Saturday.
The Citizens have been in good form in recent weeks and will now be eyeing a second placed finish in the table. With the hosts only playing for pride at the moment, the visitors should show their superior quality and earn a comfortable victory.
Southampton Form
With their relegation already confirmed, Southampton are only playing for pride in the final weeks of the season. However, there could be something at stake for interim manager Simon Rusk as the games could be viewed as an audition for the role in the English Championship.
Southampton have now been confirmed as the team to finish bottom following the 2-0 defeat at Leicester City in their previous office. Their last Premier League victory came in February and they go into this clash winless in 11 straight matches.
The Saints have the worst defensive record in the Premier League this season and have suffered some of the heaviest defeats so far. 5-0 thrashings to Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford are among their home results this season while they were also recently beaten 4-0 by Brighton at St Mary's.
Manchester City Form
Manchester City have quietly overcome their early season problems in the last few weeks and are one of the form teams in the Premier League at the moment. They are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 matches across all competitions and are poised to leapfrog second placed Arsenal, sitting just three points off the pace.
The Citizens have won their last four Premier League matches, claiming a 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in their previous fixture. They also have the added boost of Erling Haaland returning from injury, with the striker likely to play a part in Saturday's clash.
With Kevin De Bruyne showing some of his old quality, Manchester City have looked solid going forward, scoring in both halves in two of their last three matches. They have also won the first half in their last two Premier League matches.
Head to Head
Manchester City often dominate this fixture and have won four of the last five matches against Southampton. The Citizens claimed a 1-0 home victory in the reverse fixture back in October while their last visit to St Mary's Stadium ended in a 4-1 win
Verdict
Manchester City appear to have come into their regular winning streak at the end of the season and come into this match with four straight victories. They should have too much quality for Southampton and given the result in their last visit to St Mary's Stadium, could be set for a comfortable win.
The Citizens have scored in both halves in two of their last three matches and should play out a similar outcome. They have also made fast starts lately and should maintain their trend of winning the first half.
