Manchester City face Southampton at the Etihad Stadium in their final home match before the international break in late November. The Blues face four away matches following the home fixture against the Saints, with trips to Spurs, Bournemouth, Sporting and Brighton covering the next four matches.
Therefore, City need to make home advantage count against the newly promoted Saints, but will no doubt face 11 players behind the ball as usual whilst conceding the obligatory goal to the visitors.
As always, our team are here to give us their opinions on the match and make wild predictions on the result.
Saul City are flying high and as such I expect a great performance at home. 4-1 City.
City 4-1 Southampton
Thomas Last time out in the Prem, the Blues needed a late winner from Johnny Stones to dispatch bottom-dwellers Wolves at Molyneux. Next up is Saints at home. Southampton are ahead of Wolves on goal differential and won't have their home support to push them. City cruise at home.
City 4-0 Southampton
Will City will win comfortably, but I expect them to concede again.
Haaland will score but the real star will be Foden; I expect the 24 year old to bag a hattrick.
City 4-1 Saints
Pete My reverse psychology worked against Sparta, predicting they would score only for the Blues to keep a clean sheet, so let's try that again. Winless Southampton at the home of the Premier League champions has an away goal written all over it. Probably take the lead too. But I think City will have too much and I'm going for them to recover from conceding again to win comfortably.
City 5-1 Southampton
Last Time out Wednesday's Champions League match was quite comfortable in the end as the Blues thrashed Sparta 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium. No one got it spot on as we all expected a Sparta goal, which is the norm for visitors to the Etihad, but it never came.
Actually, Thomas predicted a clean sheet but wasn't brave enough to suggest a higher score while Saul got the right number of goals though so that's something to cheer too.
Here's the table:
