Southampton, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by West Ham United will have left the Southampton squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 56% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 11 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Rubén Sellés will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. Having shipped goals in 13 out of their 14 matches this season, Sellés will not be pleased with his team's struggles to keep a clean sheet at home.
They've had a terrible run of form at St. Mary's Stadium recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win. They've shown terrible form at St. Mary's Stadium this season, losing 8 of their 14 home league games.
Manchester City, Recent FormLast time out, Manchester City recorded an impressive 4-1 home win against Liverpool. In that game they had 69% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Liverpool who had 4 attempts and 1 on target.
Pep Guardiola will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 15 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 4 goals during those same matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. Few teams have managed to keep The Citizens away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 7 games.
Erling Haaland will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Southampton in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Manchester City.

With only Phil Foden (Appendicitis) and Erling Haaland (Groin) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Pep Guardiola will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
