Southampton vs Manchester City Prediction
Southampton's campaign hit another nadir following their defeat to fellow Championship-bound outfit Leicester City. The loss guaranteed that the Saints would end this season at the foot of the table. They are also running out of games to avoid equalling Derby County's record of the worst points tally in a PL campaign.
Manchester City had a disappointing campaign this season but they are ending the season on a high and have won their last four league games on the bounce. Pep Guardiola's side are seeking to secure UEFA Champions League football but are just three points behind second-placed Arsenal. City were victorious on their most recent trip to Everton and victory here would see them win successive away games in the league for the first time since August, highlighting how poor their season has been.
We are backing the visitors to claim a comfortable victory in addition to a clean sheet.
