Man City are now the only unbeaten team in the Premier League, following Tottenham’s defeat to Arsenal last weekend. In Erling Haaland, they have a seemingly unstoppable centre forward. He scored a third successive home hat-trick in the derby victory over Man Utd and followed that up with 2 goals in the Champions League against FC Copenhagen before being substituted at half-time. His individual goal total is already 19 across all competitions, while the team as a whole have wracked-up 29 league goals.
Scoring has been somewhat more difficult for Southampton, who have only netted 8 times so far this season. Since claiming an impressive 2-1 victory over Chelsea at the end of August, Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men have lost to Wolves, Aston Villa and Everton.
Recent head-to-head history is not on the side of the visitors either. They have won just 1 of their last 12 meetings with Man City, although they claimed a draw both home and away against them last season. That is 1 of just 2 draws they have managed at the Etihad Stadium in their last 11 visits, losing the other 9. To make matters worse, Pep Guardiola’s side have won their last 9 Premier League games on home turf.
Kyle Walker will miss the game, and his World Cup place is now in doubt, after he had to undergo groin surgery. Southampton will likely be without Romeo Lavia who had previously an important presence in midfield before picking up an injury.
Here's how they line up:
Man City: Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Akanji, Ake, Rodri, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Haaland, Foden
Southampton: Bazunu, Walker-Peters, Bella-Kotchup, Salisu, Perraud, Stuart Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Diallo, Aribo, Adam Armstrong, Adams
