Manchester City vs Southampton
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Etihad Stadium
Date: Sunday 4 November
Kick-off: 3pm BST
Manchester City return to Premier League action on Sunday with the visit of Southampton.
Only Huddersfield have scored less goals in the league than Saints this season with six in 10 games a sorry return for Mark Hughes’ side.
It doesn’t bode well for their clash against a side who have the best defensive record in the league having only let three slip by so far this term.

Team news
Kyler Walker, Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva, Rihad Mahrez and Sergio Aguero were among those to start on the bench on Thursday in the EFL Cup clash with Fulham with David Silva left out completely.
Expect most of those names to return with Ilkay Gundogan Guardiola’s only injury concern.
