Manchester City vs Southampton
English Premier League
Date: Wednesday, 29th November 2017
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Etihad Stadium (Manchester).

City were made to work hard by a disciplined Huddersfield on the weekend to keep the winning streak going. They went down to an Otamedi own-goal just before the half-time. But a Sergio Aguero penalty restored the parity minutes after the break and then Raheem Sterling strike lucky with six minutes left on the clock to give Sky Blues their 11th consecutive Premier League win.

Sunday’s win helped Pep Guardiola to equal the club record for the most number of successive Premier League wins, set by Manuel Pellegrini in 2015/16 season.

Meantime, Southampton put an end to their win-less streak in style with the 4-1 drubbing of Everton. The Saints were coming on the back of consecutive defeats and a draw.

Yet, the Saints remain as one of the most inconsistent sides in the league having won just 4 of their 13 games so far. Scoring goals is the pick of the problems with the teams registering less than 2 goals on 10 occasions.

Besides, the away form is on the downside, with only 1 win coming from the five games so far, with the remaining four split across 2 draws and 2 losses.

Manchester City vs Southampton: Head-to-head

Southampton won just 1 of the last 7 Premier League meetings with Manchester City, drew 1 and lost 5.

The corresponding fixture of last season was a 1-1 draw, while City got back to winning ways by a comfortable 3-0 margin when the team met at the St. Mary’s six months later.

At home, City are unbeaten in the last 7, with wins in 6 of them.

Both teams scored in 7 of the last 8 home games of Man City against Southampton.

Manchester City vs Southampton: Predictions

Mauricio Pellegrino can take some inspiration from how Huddersfield set-up to frustrate Manchester City on Sunday night. However, we do not see them taking anything back home from the Etihad.

From a punters point of view, we must look into options that offer better return for our money with most markets for City lowly priced.
