Manchester City are set to host Southampton in the Premier League this weekend, with fans expecting a high-scoring encounter. City are coming off a 5-0 victory in the Champions League and will aim to continue their momentum against the struggling Saints, who sit in 19th place in the table. Southampton have had a tough start to the season, conceding 18 goals and scoring only six, with a recent collapse against Leicester City adding to their woes. Pundits and fans are anticipating a big game from Erling Haaland, but commentator Chris Sutton believes the Norwegian striker will not score against Southampton, predicting a 4-0 win for City instead.
Despite Haaland’s impressive goal-scoring record, Sutton’s bold prediction is based on City’s attacking prowess and Southampton’s defensive struggles this season. Haaland has faced Southampton three times before, scoring three goals and providing one assist in those encounters. Fans will remember his stunning bicycle kick goal in a previous match against the Saints. While Haaland recently ended a mini-drought in terms of league goals, Sutton remains unconvinced that he will find the back of the net in the upcoming match, expecting City to secure a convincing victory and keep a clean sheet against Southampton.
