Southampton faces a challenging match today as they go up against title contenders Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The struggling Saints have yet to secure a clean sheet this season and have conceded three goals in each of their last three outings. Meanwhile, City managed a narrow 2-1 victory against Wolves last weekend, courtesy of a last-minute header from John Stones. On paper, this matchup appears to favor Pep Guardiola’s team as they aim to keep up with league leaders Liverpool.
