MATCH PREDICTION
Talk of double figures has been whispered ahead of this game as defending champions and unbeaten Manchester City welcome Southampton to the Etihad Stadium this weekend. It is not just the fact that City hammered Czech champions Sparta Prague by five goals to nil in the UEFA Champions League in midweek to mean they are now unbeaten in 13 matches across all competitions so far this season or the fact that Southampton suffered a 3-2 loss to Leicester City last weekend at St Mary’s, conceding a 98th minute winner after leading 2-0, to mean they have collected just a point from their opening eight matches so far this season but it is the style of football that makes double figures a seeming possibility. The visitors are seemingly never going to tweak or change their style of football and City will be expected to run up a score in this one.
