5-0, 5-0, 5-0 are the scorelines of Manchester City’s last three home Premier League matches. Factor in the six scored against RB Leipzig in Wednesday’s Champions League win at the Etihad Stadium and Southampton may be a touch wary of their visit. Especially as last season’s corresponding fixture ended in Pep Guardiola’s side putting, yes, five past Ralph Hasenhüttl’s. For Saints, a glimmer of hope can be found in both John Stones and Aymeric Laporte being injured, so the manager may inform his team to hit aerial bombs into the area where Ruben Dias and Nathan Aké can be shaky.
