Manchester City -2

Reason for tip

City’s price is far too short in the straight win market, so we’re going for a -2 handicap for a much more palatable price for the only remaining unbeaten PL side to continue their dominant form.

Manchester City 4-1

Reason for tip

With City averaging over 3.5 scored goals per league game, it could be a sensible play to put them on the higher end of average here and give the hosts a four-goal haul with our small stakes 4-1 correct score selection.

Phil Foden To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Phil Foden scored a hat-trick in the Manchester derby last time out, averages two shots per PL match this season, contributing to his five league goals, and perhaps most importantly, his price is a respectable 7/4

Manchester City vs Southampton Predictions

  • Manchester City are averaging 3.6 scored goals per Premier League game this season.
  • Erling Haaland scored hat-tricks in his last three PL home games.
  • Phil Foden averaged two shots per PL game and already has five goals.
  • Southampton conceded 16 goals across their last five visits here.

Can anyone stop this Haaland-inspired Manchester City?

Although they don’t sit at the top of the table ahead of this round, everybody seems to be under the impression that winning the title will be but a formality for the Cityzens this season, largely thanks to the inhuman powers of their record-breaking frontman Erling Haaland.

It’s probably easier to talk about the records that Haaland hasn’t broken considering the unbelievable impact he’s had since joining City. The imposing Norwegian has scored a record 28 goals after 22 Champions League games, he is the first player to score three consecutive PL home hat-tricks, while 14 goals in a player’s first eight PL games is higher than any player had scored after ten!

I could go on and on about more records that he’s broken therein, but that seemingly omnipotent goalscoring prowess doesn’t go unnoticed… especially with the bookmakers. As such, it simply isn’t worth backing Haaland to score in the anytime market as his price is a measly 1/3!

Southampton will struggle to contain City

It’s not just Haaland that Southampton have to worry about, as they’re now on a run of over three hours of away play without scoring a goal, losing both games in that sequence.

Saints boss Ralph Hassenhuttl is reportedly on the brink of losing his job and in truth, it’s shocking that he is still in a job after losing two separate games by 9-0 scorelines! Another dominant defeat is expected, and this could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back in terms of the Austrian’s Southampton tenure.

It’s impossible to oppose the Cityzens

Given Manchester City’s embarrassment of riches in just about every department, it’s impossible to suggest that the Saints will get a positive result here. However, City’s price is far too short in the straight win market, so we’re going for a -2 handicap for a much more palatable price.

With City averaging over 3.5 scored goals per league game, it could be a sensible play to put them on the higher end of average here and give the hosts a four-goal haul with our small stakes 4-1 correct score selection.

Since Haaland’s price is so short, we’re looking elsewhere for our anytime goalscorer selection. Phil Foden fits the bill perfectly, he scored a hat-trick in the Manchester derby last time out, averages two shots per PL match this season, contributing to his five league goals, and perhaps most importantly, his price is a respectable 7/4.
