Manchester City v Southampton LIVE - Erling Haaland scores as ruthless City extend lead to four

There's been a brief stoppage in play as the Saints player receives treatment, but looks ok to continue.

A solid save from Bazunu keeps out a strong Mahrez effort inside the box, before he collects the follow-up from Foden.

City get us underway!

We're five minutes away from the action.

Kyle Walker-Peters has urged Saints fans to stick with the team, and feels confident about Southampton's chances against Man City.

"Everyone's still confident, everyone believes in what we're doing. We just need to start putting the points on the board and put the performances together for 90 minutes.

"Stick with us, they've seen us go on good runs in the past and I'm sure one's not far away."

Man City failed to beat Southampton in the league last year, both games ended in a draw.

Losses to Everton, Aston Villa and Wolves make it three games without a point for Hasenhuttl as his side drop to 16th in the table, one point from the drop zone.

One positive for Southampton is that they’re not leaking goals. They've only conceded four goals across those three games, and lost each by one goal.

If only they weren’t facing a striker with 14 goals in eight games this afternoon…

Man City earned bragging rights once more when they blitzed neighbours Man Utd 6-3 last weekend at Etihad Stadium. Foden and Haaland shared the goals with a hat-trick apiece, as City put four past Erik ten Hag’s side before half time.

Both start today as Guardiola's side look to make it six wins in a row in all competitions.

Mohammed Salisu comes in on the left of a back two, and will play alongside Romain Perraud who comes in at left back. Ibrahima Diallo starts in midfield, and Adam Armstrong replaces Sekou Mara

In typical Pep Guardiola style, he's taken the option to reshuffle the squad from City's 5-0 Champions League triumph over Copenhagen on Wednesday night. Jack Grealish drops to the bench despite his impressive performance, as does Aymeric Laporte, Ilkay Gundogan, Sergio Gomez and Julian Alvarez.

Manuel Akanji comes in at the back while Nathan Ake is deployed at left back. Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri and Phil Foden also return.

Welcome to Eurosport’s LIVE digital coverage of the Premier League clash between Manchester City and Southampton at Etihad Stadium. The Cityzens haven’t beaten the Saints in the league since March 2021, and will look to overcome Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side today and to go top of the table - for tonight at least!
