They are yet to face top five teams in the league thus having a rather difficult fixture towards the end of the season.


Manchester City managed to thrash Hull City 3-1 in the weekend.

They are fourth in the table holding a 4 point advantage over Manchester United who has a game in hand.They are also 2 points shy of Liverpool who are in third place.


Their away form is patchy, to say the least, they have lost four, drawn one and won four of their nine past away fixtures.They have conceded in their last five but have equally scored in their past seven of those away matches.

Soton has scored in seven of their last eight league home games and conceded in their last six home games.
