Southampton vs Man City

Quite simply, this is going to be a tough one. It will be the Saint’s third game in a week and against an opponent who is pretty decent at football.

As much as we would all like to see a repeat performance of the last time these two clashed I just do not see it happening this time. Pep, will not have forgotten the result from the last time and will want to send a message to Ralph that he is the top dog.

Do not get me wrong, Ralph will have a gameplan and it will probably be brilliant he is just coming up against a team that has talent to spare. I expect a close match but ultimately the Saints will come up short.

Predicted Score

Southampton 1-2 Manchester City
