Southampton vs Man City prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

Manchester City travel to the south coast and can temporarily reduce Arsenal's lead at the top of the Premier League table to five points with a game-in-hand when Pep Guardiola's side face bottom-of-the-table Southampton. Saints are winless in four matches and sit four points from safety while City have picked up are on a seven-match winning run in all competitions.

City go into this match as the heavy favourites at 2/9 as they look to secure three more points to keep the title race alive while Saints are 11/1 outsiders to produce a shock at home and a draw is 5/1. City go into this match with seven wins on the bounce scoring 27 times in that process which is more than what Southampton have done all season in the league.

A result would be a dream for the goal-shy side after they surprised themselves with a draw against Tottenham Hotspur which ended up being Antonio Conte's last match as Spurs boss. But with a lot of sides picking up results above them, they will be keen to make sure they are still in the relegation dogfight and not resign to defeat.
