Southampton Betting Preview
Southampton comes into this game sitting in 20th place in the standings having picked up 23 points. In the last game against West Ham United, Southampton failed to score any goals, and that led to the 1-0 defeat. Two games ago against Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton played to a 3-3 draw. Che Adams and Mohammed Salisu were both injured during the international break, and they aren’t going to be able to go here. Armel Bella-Kotchap was hurt in the last game with a shoulder injury, but there is a chance he could start again in this game.
Manchester City Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Manchester City who sits in second place in the standings having picked up 64 points. Manchester City has had a good season but they are still chasing Arsenal for first place. In the last game against Liverpool, Manchester City scored four goals on the way to the three goal victory. Erling Haaland has returned to training and there is a chance he could start in this game. Kyle Walker, Aymeric Laporte, and Rico Lewis all could move into the starting lineup in this game.
Shane’s Free Pick
Manchester City is going to have no issue getting the job done in this game, even if Haaland isn’t able to go, which it looks like he should be able to go. Look for Manchester City to score three or four goals, and Southampton isn’t going to even score a goal. This is going to be a blowout victory by Manchester City. Back Manchester City -2.5
