Prediction before the match Southampton vs Man City
One side is just waiting for relegation, the other side, although somewhat disappointing, is aiming for second place in the Premier League table. It can be said that this is the most unbalanced confrontation in the 36th round.
Southampton, who have 11 points, are aiming for a forgettable record in English football. They are the joint-least points-earned team in a campaign (tied with Derby County in the 2007/08 season). Southampton will need to secure at least one point in their remaining three games to avoid becoming the most shameful record in English football.
1 point after 3 matches is in theory not too difficult a task. But for this team, it is really thorny. Like the previous match against Leicester, the team ranked 1 place above them but Southampton still suffered a crushing defeat. The team with the most potential to win points cannot win, so who knows how Southampton will dream against the champion of the last 3 seasons.
On the other side of the front line, Man City is aiming to take the 2nd place from Arsenal. After focusing on the European arena but failing, the Gunners are falling into a serious recession. In the last 5 matches in the domestic league, they have only won 1 match. That result has caused this team, which was firmly in the 2nd place, to lose its position to Man City.

This round, Man City can take the place if they pocket 3 points, and at the same time the London team cannot beat Liverpool.
Form, history of confrontation Southampton vs Man City
That scenario is very feasible if we know that Man City is in the best form since the beginning of the year. Ignoring the period of struggling with consecutive bad results, Man City is now stable again.
They may not explode or "massacre" their opponents like in previous seasons, but they still get maximum points when needed. The club has won all 5 recent matches. They have been unbeaten in the last 8 matches, winning 7.
In the confrontation with Southampton, Man City also dominated almost completely with 8 wins in the last 10 matches and most of them scored at least 3 goals against the opponent.
Based on those numbers, based on the difference in motivation between the two sides, we can believe in Man City's victory over Southampton tonight. The question is how will they win, and by how many goals?
Expected lineup Southampton vs Man City
Southampton : Ramsdale, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens, Walker-Peters, Downes, Ugochukwu, Manning, Fernandes, Sulemana, Stewart.
Man City: Ederson, Nunes, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Gundogan, Kovacic, Silva, De Bruyne, Doku, Marmoush.
