Southampton vs Manchester City LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more tonight

The players make their way out onto the pitch at St. Marys.

Brentford have been defeated in their dealyed match against Wolves. Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves netting for the visitors to give Wolves a 2-1 away from home. Brentford have lost their last four Premier League fixtures.

James Ward-Prowse has scored 12 direct free-kicks in the Premier League, a total bettered only by David Beckham’s 18.

Man City have won the last 19 league fixtures in which they have scored first.

Their 13 clean sheets is a top-flight high this season. Only two of the 13 goals conceded by City have come before half-time, the fewest in the division.

They have conceded just two goals from set pieces this season (one penalty, one from a corner), three fewer than any other side.

Southampton have recorded 10 home wins against the reigning champions of the Premier League, a tally beaten only by Liverpool’s 14.

They could become just the third club to keep a clean sheet in both top-flight matches versus a Pep Guardiola-managed team in a season, emulating Borussia Monchengladbach (2014-15) and Manchester United (2020-21).

But, after keeping five clean sheets in eight league games between September and November, they have conceded in each of their last 10 top-flight matches.

Manchester City have won 12 Premier League games in a row by an aggregate score of 34-7. The 36 points they have accrued since losing to Crystal Palace in October is 13 more than any other side in the division.

The only team to win as many as 12 successive top-flight matches in a season and not go on to win the title was Preston North End in 1891-92.

Super-sub Marcus Rashford struck a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Manchester United broke West Ham hearts and lifted the roof off Old Trafford.

In the Carabao Cup earlier in the season David Moyes led the Hammers to their first win at the Red Devils since 2007 and he looked set to leave with a potentially vital point in the race for Champions League qualification.

But United dug deep and secured victory with virtually the last kick of the game as Edinson Cavani crossed for fellow substitute Rashford to score in front of a rocking Stretford End to seal a 1-0 win.

Southampton’s current seven-match unbeaten home league streak is their longest since a run of nine between March and October 2016.

Their only defeat in 10 home league fixtures this season came against Wolves in September and they have won their last two Premier League home games against sides starting the day top of the table, having beaten Everton and Liverpool last season.

Manchester City have won eight of the 10 most recent league meetings between the teams. Southampton earned a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture but haven’t avoided defeat in both league encounters in a season since 2002-03.

Ruben Neves sends Wolves back in front against Brentford! Nelson Semedo flashes the ball across to Rayan Ait-Nouri who pulls the ball back to the edge of the box for Joao Moutinho. He sets up Neves who slots it home, picking out the bottom right hand corner.

Reaction to come from Marcus Rashford’s last minute winner at Old Trafford but looking forward to the last game of the day here’s a reminder of the line-ups for Southampton vs Manchester City:

Southampton XI: Forster, Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Salisu, Perraud, S. Armstrong, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Broja, Adams

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Foden, Grealish
