Man City will attempt to ascend to the top of the Premier League standings when they host a struggling Southampton team at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Manchester City vs Southampton match will kick off at 15:00 UK Time.

A little difficulty that Manchester City had about one month ago has already been resolved. The club had several draws in that period, including a 1-1 draw with Newcastle and a 2-2 draw with Arsenal in the English Premier League. Such gaffes are no longer tolerated in the race for the Premier League leadership. He started the competition first and passed the Citizens by one point because Liverpool capitalised on his mistakes.
Another early Champions League exit for Guardiola’s squad came in a gruelling encounter with Inter (2:2). City, on the other hand, triumphed with ease in the remaining matches, although facing somewhat lesser opponents (Slovan, 4-0, and Sparta, 5-0). Man City are flying high, sitting atop the league standings.
Naturally, Southampton has completely disregarded any consideration of the European Cup. Maintaining their Premier League status is crucial since the squad has struggled to do it thus far, sitting only one point above the relegation zone’s halfway mark. It was the only point earned by the Saints in a recent match against Ipswich Town, another club fighting for its existence. Despite his second-worst goal differential (goals scored minus goals surrendered), Southampton has lost every other match he has played in.
