Southampton vs Manchester City 20.03.2022

After seeing their lead on the PL table reduce to a solitary point, Manchester City will turn their attention to the FA Cup in this away tie at St Mary’s. With a UCL last 8 ticket in the bag, and a title race with Liverpool, a treble remains a possibility for Pep’s men. Therefore, the Citizens will be highly motivated here.

Meanwhile, Southampton welcome Manchester City on the back of three straight losses. Before these defeats, Hassenhutl’s men had been on an 8-game unbeaten streak with 6 wins and 2 draws. However, recent performances show that they are a far cry from the form that handed them a point against City at the Etihad, 1-1 draw at Old Trafford and all three points against Conte’s men.

Although the FA Cup is known for upsets, given Southampton’s current form, it is hard to see Man City faltering here. To this end, we are expecting that City will win by a margin of at least 2 goals.
