Manchester City can go top of the Premier League table with a win over Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
But City may only be top for 24 hours, with Arsenal playing on Sunday against Liverpool. Pep Guardiola's side will be hoping to continue their rampant form in recent weeks, following their 6-3 derby day victory over Manchester United and their 5-0 win against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League. Saturday's fixture will be City's third consecutive home game in all competitions when they host Southampton.
Saints managed to draw both games against City last season, but the most recent meeting between the two came in the FA Cup as Guardiola's side won 4-1 at St. Mary's Stadium. City will be missing a key player from their squad at the weekend, with Kyle Walker out after undergoing surgery.
