PEP GUARDIOLA PREVIEW

On Southampton, he said: “If the manager [Ruben Selles] was appointed yesterday it would be difficult. Already, they’ve played a few games with the manager so the patterns are quite clear. 

“Now every team is playing for something, it’s the same importance to fight for the Premier League as it is to stay in the Premier League.

“That’s why every game has it’s own characteristics and you have to be ready, because Southampton have always been so tough.

“I have a feeling tomorrow won’t be an exception.”

PREVIOUS MEETING

Our last league trip to St Mary’s ended in a 1-1 draw back in January 2022, with Aymeric Laporte netting the equaliser just after the hour mark.

Since then, we have visited the Saints twice, winning 4-1 in the FA Cup in March 2022 and then losing in the Carabao Cup in January this year.

We faced them at the Etihad earlier this season and came away with a convincing 4-0 victory.

LAST TIME OUT

Julian Alvarez, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish were all on the scoresheet as City came from a goal down to beat Liverpool 4-1 in a pulsating Premier League encounter at the Etihad Stadium.

Southampton were beaten 1-0 at West Ham to leave them bottom of the table.
