Southampton have scored 14 goals in their last six games and haven’t failed to score at home since September.
Manchester City have won their last 12 Premier League matches.
The Citizens have conceded in five of their last seven competitive away games.
Saints showing signs of progress

Southampton’s five-match unbeaten streak came to an end at Molineux last weekend and they’re expected to record successive defeats when they host Premier League champions Manchester City on Saturday evening.

The Saints, however, are generally performing well at the moment and with eight points from their last five league matches they have pushed themselves up to 12th in the table, a comfortable 11 points clear of the relegation zone.

Man City on the charge

Manchester City are a different breed at the moment, though. Their 1-0 win over Chelsea last weekend made it 12 league wins on the bounce and they have opened up an 11-point chasm at the top of the table.

Pep Guardiola’s side are unbeaten away from home in he top flight since the opening weekend of the season and have won nine of their ten trips since then, including each of their last seven.

High-scoring City win on the cards

While the Citizens do boast the best defensive record in the league, they haven’t actually kept that many clean sheets recently. They have conceded in five of their last seven competitive away days and Southampton have scored in each of their last six.

Additionally, the Saints haven’t failed to score at St Mary’s Stadium since September and have scored an impressive 14 goals in their last six home and away games. Although, with 11 goals conceded in this period backing Manchester City to win and both teams to score appeals, alongside a 3-1 correct score prediction.
