Manchester City have been outstanding this season and given the quality of the Premier League, they are arguably the most outstanding team in Europe.
However, they needed luck to win over the weekend and that they got against a Spirited Huddersfield side.
That win means they have not dropped a single point both in the Premier League and Champions League since August.
They have now won 11 Premier League games on the bounce, scoring 42 goals – 14 more than any other team.
Southampton’s game over the weekend ended in a 4-1 win for the Saints.
While that result may seem as though the Saints are a very talented side, it was Everton’s capitulation which led to that outcome and the Saints are still an underperforming side.
They are currently 10th in the league table having lost 4 of their last 8 games and they have scored just 13 goals all season.
Away from home, they have just one win and three goals overall and facing a Manchester City side that has been blowing everyone away is going to be a tough game for them.
