Southampton vs Man City prediction and odds: City bandwagon can steamroll Saints

Check out our 11/10 Southampton vs Man City prediction below
Manchester City's march towards a fourth Premier League title in five years is proving irresistible and another three points await them at the Saint Mary's Stadium on Saturday evening.
City extended their lead over Chelsea with an efficient 1-0 success last weekend and only a lack of focus can prevent this side going all the way now. Pep Guardiola is unlikely to accept any lowering of standards even with such a big cushion to fall back on, so we can expect more of the same from City this weekend.
The league leaders are a very prohibitive 1/4 with Grosvenor Sport to do what they couldn't manage in the reverse fixture between these sides, while the Saints are a whopping 10/1 to repeat their 2020 victory in this fixture.
The 1/4 about City won't tempt many, even from an acca perspective, but there are more appealing punting options for this 5.30pm kick-off.
City's defensive numbers are raising the bar to a level not seen before, so much so that they limited Chelsea to an xG of just 0.43 last weekend, even without Ruben Dias. City have given up an xGA of greater than 1.0 only once in their last 13 Premier League matches, which is simply stunning.
Southampton were in decent enough form until they god thumped by Wolves last weekend (unbeaten in their previous five) but they have failed to keep a clean sheet since November 5 and they will do extremely well to keep City at bay.
It's impossible to oppose City in their current mood and although they are too short to back at 1/4 in the outright market, we can back Pep Guardiola's side to win to nil at 11/10 which looks the safest play.
