Manchester City travel to Southampton on Saturday evening as they look to extend their handsome lead at the top of the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola’s side lead second-placed Liverpool by 11 points and have won each of their last 12 league fixtures since losing to Crystal Palace back in October, while last weekend’s victory over Chelsea took them 14 points ahead of Thomas Tuchel’s men and seemed to wrap up the title race.
Saints, meanwhile, are ten points clear of the relegation zone in 13th and will almost certainly be spending another season in the Premier League next time around.
They were taken over by Serbian business magnate Dragan Solak for £100m at the beginning of January and will be looking to reinforce their squad before the January transfer window closes.
