How Man City should line up vs Southampton in Premier League fixture

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester City travel down to the south coast to take on Southampton on Saturday. The Saints are fighting for their lives at the bottom of the Premier League table and will go into the game buoyed by the fact they pulled off an upset by knocking City out of the Carabao Cup when the sides last met earlier this year.

The Blues are desperate for the three points themselves as they continue to battle Arsenal for the title. Pep Guardiola's side take to the field first this weekend so can close the gap on the leaders to five points with a win before the Gunners face Liverpool on Sunday.

City will be boosted by the return of Erling Haaland.
