We’re Not Really Here
Shaun Goater and Andy Morrison will team up once again for our live matchday show alongside host, Natalie Pike.
The duo went down in Manchester City folklore as part of our 1999 Second Division play-off final winning side, and will offer their insight on Pep Guardiola’s current crop across the whole show, which begins an hour before kick-off.
Goater and Morrison will then return for a quick half-time debrief, before picking the bones of the result and reacting to the fans’ man of the match poll once the game is over.
As always, we will also hear the post-match thoughts of a player and, time permitting, Pep Guardiola after the final whistle at the Etihad.
Fan input is always welcomed on We’re Not Really Here, so if you want to share your thoughts on the game or ask Shaun and Andy a question, get involved via #WNRH.
During the game there will also be live commentary which you can enjoy exclusively on mancity.com and our official app.

Form Guide
Pep Guardiola’s men will be looking for an immediate response after defeat in the Manchester Derby brought an end to our 21-game winning run and 28-game unbeaten streak in all competitions.
Nonetheless, we still remain 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League, and will have our sights set on stringing together another sequence of impressive results.
Southampton will come into the game hoping to build on Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Sheffield United.
Goals from James Ward-Prowse and Che Adams earned the Saints their first win in nine Premier League matches.

Pep Guardiola preview
“I am a big fan of the style Ralph and his team play. It’s another test to play good and try to win.”
“I watch many Southampton games. The quality they do, we suffered a lot to beat them there.”
“We will have to do a good performance tomorrow to get the result.”
Last Meeting
Win #1 of our recent 21-game run came at St. Mary’s in December, with Raheem Sterling’s early strike enough to earn Pep Guardiola’s men a 1-0 victory.
Our winger’s clinical finish from Kevin De Bruyne’s cutback just after 15 minutes moved City up to sixth in the Premier League table, eight points off top spot.
