Southampton vs Manchester City: The Citizens won't allow a misfire

In the FA Cup quarter-finals, Southampton will play host to Manchester City at home. Will Southampton beat Guardiola's side for the third time in a row?

In the previous round of the FA Cup, Southampton faced West Ham United at home. As expected, they performed well against a strong opponent at home (3:1). After the cup performance, the Saints lost their best form and suffered three successive defeats in the English League in Aston Villa (0:4), Newcastle United and Watford (both with a score of 1:2).

Manchester City's opponents in the FA Cup round of 16 were a humble Peterborough United. However, the game turned out to be rather difficult for the Citizens. After that game, the Citizens thrashed Man City with a score of 4:1 in the derby and failed to beat Crystal Palace 0:0. Man City still keeps first place on the EPL table.

The upcoming game will be very crucial for Manchester City. A few days ago, Guardiola's side disappointed their fans with a disappointing result in the EPL. The advantage over Liverpool is now just one point. Naturally, Man City will be in a good mood going on the break. Southampton will have a very difficult game. We believe Manchester City won't leave a chance for the Saints this time and will win with a convincing victory.
