Southampton and Manchester City will lock horns with each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between the Saints and the Cityzens will be held at St. Mary’s Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 3pm UK time on Saturday.
Southampton
Southampton have been the worst team in the Premier League this season and have already been relegated to the Championship. The Saints have been dire all campaign, and the fans must be waiting for the season to end.
The Saints are at the foot of the Premier League table at the moment with 11 points from 35 matches. Southampton have lost 28 of their 35 league games this season and have scored only 25 goals.
Southampton will head into the Premier League match against Manchester City at St. Mary’s Stadium this coming weekend on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Leicester City away from home at the King Power Stadium in the league. It came after a 2-1 loss at the hands of Fulham at home in the Premier League, which followed a 1-1 draw with West Ham United at London Stadium in the league.
Team News:
Southampton are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation against Manchester City. Aaron Ramsdale will be in goal for the home team. Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Jan Bednarek and Jack Stephens will be the three centre-backs. Kyle Walker-Peters, Flynn Downes, Lesley Ugochukwu and Ryan Manning will be the four midfielders. Mateus Fernandes and Kamaldeen Sulemana will be the two attacking midfielders. Ross Stewart will lead the line for the Saints.
Manchester City
Manchester City have been hugely disappointing this season. Last season’s Premier League champions did not win the Carabao Cup and failed to retain their title. Pep Guardiola’s side may have reached the final of the FA Cup, but they failed to do anything of note in the UEFA Champions League.
There is also a very good chance that Man City may not even finish in the Premier League top five this season. The Cityzens are third in the league table right now with 64 points from 35 matches, just four points ahead of Nottingham Forest, who are sixth and have played 34 games.
Man City will head into the Premier League game against Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium this coming weekend on the back of a 1-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad Stadium in the league.
