A great match-up!
Manchester City will indeed look to keep the pressure on Liverpool with a visit from Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday. Here's a brief preview:
Manchester City (1st) vs. Southampton (14th)
- Date: Saturday, February 27, 2021
- Kick-off: 15:00 GMT (10:00 ET)
- Venue: Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Manchester City, currently sitting atop the Premier League table, will aim to maintain their lead over Liverpool with a win against Southampton. Pep Guardiola's side has been in impressive form, winning their last five league matches and scoring 14 goals in the process.
Southampton, on the other hand, are struggling to find consistency, having won just two of their last 10 league matches. They will need to improve their defensive solidity and create more scoring opportunities if they hope to get a result against the in-form City.
Key stats:
- Manchester City have won 14 of their last 15 league matches against Southampton.
- City have scored 34 goals in their last 10 league matches, while Southampton have conceded 23 goals in their last 10.
- Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne has scored three goals and provided five assists in his last five league matches.
Prediction:
Manchester City should have too much firepower for Southampton, and a win is likely. However, Southampton may be able to cause some problems for City's defense if they can create enough scoring opportunities. I predict a 3-1 win for Manchester City.
What do you think? Will Manchester City continue their winning streak, or can Southampton cause an upset?
