  • 84'
    Just over 6 minutes plus injury time for Southampton to hold on.

    First shot on target for City. First Sterling has a shot from inside the box that McCarthy saves well.

    ADAMS!!!!!!
  • 14'
    It's not been the best of games so far.

    If Southampton win this then they could have slight chance of making Europe, although it will be very very difficult, especially if City are allowed in.
  • 8'
    Redmond has a free-kick from very far out which hits the wall and goes over the bar for a corner.
  • 5'
    No chances yet but City have started on the front foot as you might expect.
  • 1'
    Players take the knee and we're off.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Mahrez today. He was on fire the other day against Liverpool. I also hope that Foden comes on, he has a very bright future ahead of him.
  • PRVW
    And the last time that City failed to score against Southampton was in 2004.
  • PRVW
    The last time City failed to beat Southampton was a 1-1 draw in 2016. They also last lost in 2016. Curiously, Mané got a hat-trick for the Saints.
  • PRVW
    A Saints win takes them 16 points above Aston Villa with 5 matches left, i.e. they would be safe.
  • PRVW
    If Man City win today, they will move 14 points above Manchester United with 15 points to play for. That should be enough for the Champions League.
  • PRVW
    Man City XI: Ederson, Joao Cancelo, Eric Garcia, Laporte, Zinchenko, Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Silva, Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus, Sterling.
  • PRVW
    Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Redmond, Ings, Adams.
