Manchester City team news

Phil Foden and Darwin Nunez are expected to start for Manchester City when they take on Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday. Foden has been in fine form for City this season, scoring four goals in his last five games. Nunez, meanwhile, has yet to open his account for City but is expected to lead the line against Southampton.

Erling Haaland is a doubt for the game after picking up a knock in training. If Haaland is ruled out, Julian Alvarez is likely to start in his place.

Southampton team news

Southampton will be without the suspended Mohamed Elyounoussi for the game against City. Elyounoussi was sent off in the Saints' last game, a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Stuart Armstrong is also a doubt for the game after picking up a knock in training. If Armstrong is ruled out, Ibrahima Diallo is likely to start in his place.

What to expect

Manchester City are heavy favorites to win the game against Southampton. The Citizens have won their last five games in all competitions and have a strong record against Southampton, winning their last four meetings.

Southampton, meanwhile, are winless in their last five games and have struggled to score goals all season.

A comfortable win for City is on the cards.

Prediction

Manchester City to win 3-0.
