The Cityzens got a scare on Sunday and needed a late John Stones winner to beat Wolves. They are not at their fluent best at the moment but they keep churning out the results. After his unstoppable start to the season, Erling Haaland hasn’t scored in three Premier League matches. The Saints’ defenders should beware because he found his shooting boots again in the week as City beat Sparta Prague 5-0

A trip to the Etihad is hardly what Russell Martin’s men would have wanted after their capitulation against Leicester. Somehow they have to pick themselves up and ago again after surrendering that two-goal lead. Martin is unlikely to change how he wants his side to play though, and the attempts to play out from the back could leave them badly exposed in this match.

Are we going to have one of the shock results of the season, or will Pep Guardiola’s team keep on their relentless form? Tune in to find out — and make sure you don't miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
