Southampton vs Man City – Today's Top Two Tips
Man City have failed to score in their last two matches and go up against a Southampton side that have held them to draws in each of their meetings in the league this season. The Saints are the underdogs this weekend despite having the home advantage for this FA Cup quarter-final but will be hoping to catch Man city on another off day.
Contents
BTTS – No
Both teams have scored in just two of the last five league meetings between Southampton and Man City, and we just don't see both teams scoring in Sunday's FA Cup tie. Both teams have scored in just two of the Saint's last five league games, while only two of Man City's last six matches in all competitions have produced goals at both ends of the pitch.
Under 2.5 Goals
The two meetings between Southampton and Man City in the league this season both produced under 2.5 goals, and we're expecting another low-scoring affair in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup this weekend. Under 2.5 goals have also been produced in four of Man City's last five outings in league and cup games but Guardiola's men have kept clean sheets in each of those low-scoring games.

Pressure on Man City to perform following draw at Selhurst Park
Southampton were the big favourites to win their home game against struggling Watford last weekend but slipped 2-goals behind inside the opening 34-minutes and although Elyounoussi was able to make it 2-1 before the break, the Saints failed to carve out an equaliser. That defeat cost the Saints a chance of moving into 9th place ahead of Aston Villa and realistically, that is the highest the club are likely to finish this season.
Southampton Predicted Lineup – Forster, Bednarek, Perraud, Walker-Peters, Salisu, Romeu, Armstrong, Elyounoussi, Ward-Prowse, Smallbone & Adams
Man City knew they had to win away at Crystal Palace to put pressure on Liverpool ahead of their trip to the Emirates. However, for the second time in the space of 5-days, Guardiola's men were held to a goalless draw. City had already lost at home against the Eagles in the Premier League and would have been expecting a tricky trip to the capital. That result has allowed Liverpool to move to within a point of Man City and really ramped up the pressure on the favourites who have a potentially tricky trip to Burnley to come after the international break.
Man City Predicted Lineup – Ederson, Walker, Cancelo, Laporte, Stones, De Bruyne, Grealish, Silva, Rodri, Foden & Mahrez
Team News
