Man City vs Southampton live updates (Manchester Evening News)

Manchester City take on Southampton on Saturday as they return to Premier League action.

They might not be in the best form this season, but Ralph Hasenhuttl knows how to get a result against City and the Blues will have to be on their game today. Ralph Hasenhuttl is under pressure at Southampton and is favourite to be the next manager to be sacked. Southampton got in behind on City’s right and it looks like the manager is keen for that not to happen again. City could already be ahead as Joao Cancelo on the left found Riyad Mahrez at the back post and forced a great save from Gavin Bazunu. De Bruyne and Haaland look such a threat whenever they pick up the ball though Pep Guardiola is getting very frustrated on the sidelines, turning away a few times if the pass hasn’t been right or it wasn’t the one he wanted. Phil Foden did really well to find Cancelo, getting clattered in the process, and maybe a moment of individual brilliance is what they needed to get them firing. They’re pressing City well and forcing them into errors on the ball. It might be surprising that it wasn't Haaland who got it though, with Cancelo and Foden getting the goals so far. It may be coincidence but that Haaland chance came just after the crowd had sparked into life again to rally the team. Rodri and Riyad Mahrez deserve credit for stopping a Southampton attack, there, feeding Kevin De Bruyne, and he set up Foden. [Haaland's](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erling-haaland) remarkable form in front of goal continued on Wednesday as he notched another brace in the 5-0 win over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League.

Man City 4-0 Southampton: Erling Haaland scores as Joao Cancelo ... (Sky Sports)

Report and free match highlights as Manchester City cruise past Southampton thanks to goals from Joao Cancelo, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Erling Haaland; ...

"We had, in the first half, two things where we did not slide and they played so quick and there is immediately a big chance. He had been switched to right-back in the absence of Kyle Walker in midweek but whichever flank that Cancelo plays on he is a creative force. I think this then makes it a little bit harder for us then to press. The supporters seemed a little bemused by it, so accustomed have they become to seeing him score. He helped us again, he keeps the ball and fights. Even the club stuck him on the front page of the programme for this one. The goal maintained Haaland's outrageous scoring while heaping further misery on Hasenhuttl but perhaps the story of this game is that the striker's goals were not needed. Cancelo was the best player on the pitch, while Foden rivalled him until being withdrawn just before the hour mark. The finish for his goal was even cuter, dinking the ball beyond Gavin Bazunu after being played in by De Bruyne. Jack Grealish dropped to the bench with Riyad Mahrez coming in. The 22-year-old forward had been rested against FC Copenhagen in midweek along with Kevin De Bruyne and their return provided the impetus. Joao Cancelo's brilliant solo run started the scoring midway through the first half and Phil Foden added a second soon after with City utterly dominant.

Haaland hits 20 as Man City crush Southampton (The Punch)

Erling Haaland struck his 20th goal of the season as Manchester City strolled to the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 demolition of Southampton at the ...

After a bright start to the campaign, Southampton have lost their last four games and had no answer to the wave upon wave of City attacks after the break. Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl could have taken charge of the Saints for the final time with reports this week that the Austrian is on the brink of being sacked. Cancelo was retained at left-back despite the absence of Kyle Walker at right-back and the Portuguese produced a finish Haaland would have been proud of as he marauded forward and fired into the bottom corner on 20 minutes.

Erling Haaland increased his goal tally, but Joao Cancelo was arguably the top Manchester City performer in a 4-0 win over Southampton.

With Haaland as a team-mate and De Bruyne getting even better, it wouldn't be a surprise if that record is smashed this term. It might not have been another hat-trick but it was another game when he was crucial in the final third. Of course, Erling Haaland was eventually on the scoresheet but by then the game was long over.

Guimaraes was also a thorn in Brentford's side when they were able to take the ball off him. The last time Leicester lost a Premier League game when winning at half-time was here at Bournemouth in July 2020, when they ended up being thumped 4-1. Had it been a different story, he may not have received such a warm reception from the Chelsea faithful when subbed off in the second half. Potter made it clear in his post-match press conference that getting that balance of minutes right is crucial, both for the success on the pitch and the morale in the dressing room. On the evidence at Bournemouth, Leicester are not in a false position because without leadership in this league, away venues can be a very lonely place. That was not always evident during the previous campaign but their strength in depth was plain to see on Saturday, as a much-changed line-up swept aside Wolves. But the gulf to the quality Graham Potter could call upon was enormous. To the backdrop of an empty stadium, the players were undertaking their first post-match fitness duties since the passing of their guru. There was an eerie silence as the nine substitutes were put through their paces by two members of the coaching staff. It was hard not to get emotional walking down the steps from the press box at the Amex, long after the final whistle had gone and witness the Spurs substitutes doing their warm down. The supporters seemed a little bemused by it, so accustomed have they become to seeing him score. Even the club stuck him on the front page of the programme for this one.

Erling Haaland has already broke multiple goal-scoring records at Manchester City and in the Champions League, and he's on course to smash many more.

Haaland is likely looking at breaking the record for most goals in a Premier League season. Haaland also broke a record that was just broken, becoming the youngest player in the Champions League to score 25 goals (22 years, 47 days). The Norwegian also has a handful of Champions League records to his name. He has also become the first player to score in his first four away games in the Premier League, scoring at the London Stadium against West Ham, St. It's an incredible weapon for us, a big threat.
