Southampton travel to the Etihad to face a Manchester City side brimming with confidence at the moment.
City come into this one off the back of a fantastic week of football for them.
They breezed past Manchester United in last week’s Manchester derby with both Phil Foden and Erling Haaland grabbing hat-tricks.
And in mid-week they registered a 5-0 victory in the Champions League against Copenhagen, with Haaland bagging a further two goals.
The Norwegian forward has now hit the back of the net 19 times in all competitions this season.
As for Southampton, they come into this one off the back of a disappointing defeat at the hands of Everton last weekend.
The Saints went 1-0 up in that encounter thanks to a goal from summer signing Joe Aribo, but ended up capitulating, conceding two in two minutes, and losing the game 2-1.
A long Saturday afternoon could be on the cards for Saints fans.
