Manchester City vs Southampton Match Preview and Team News
Manchester City
The goals continue to flow at the Etihad Stadium, and Manchester City hammered six past Leipzig as they opened their new assault on the Champions League with a victory. Pep Guardiola has managed Manchester City to take every competition seriously, and he will be looking for another couple of home wins this week with the Premier League first up and then the League Cup Third Round tie to come. Rotating the squad is something that Pep Guardiola is very much known for, but it has not prevented Manchester City from winning the title for the third time in four seasons under his guidance. The side is up to 5th in the Premier League table, and they have 9 points on the board, while Manchester City has a 2-0-0 record at home where they have two clean sheets and have scored ten goals. Phil Foden shows her talent and should be one of the leading players in the future. Raheem Sterling enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and moves towards the goal, the opponent has problems.
Southampton
Ralph Hasenhuttl will be a little frustrated that Southampton is still waiting for a first Premier League win of the season. Still, there has to be encouragement all around after the last couple of performances. They have played well enough to have beaten either Newcastle United or West Ham United, but Southampton has a very tough challenge in front of them this weekend. The Saints are 14th in the Premier League table, but they have earned 3 points from the first four games. They will be heading to the North West on Saturday, looking to improve the 0-1-1 record away from home, where Southampton has scored three goals but conceded 5. Southampton has crushed Newport County in the League Cup Second Round, and they are now unbeaten in 4 games in all competitions since the 3-1 loss at Everton on the opening weekend. James Ward-Prowse has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Moussa Djenepo is a guy who makes a lot of trouble for the opponent on the left flank. He has speed and an excellent one-on-one game.
