Southampton visit Manchester City for the second time in a week this Saturday as they hope to put a miserable few days behind them.
Saints were beaten 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday following the 9-0 drubbing against Leicester City last Friday.
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side put in an improved showing against City, although it would’ve been hard not to, and will look to build on that with a shock result on Saturday.
Not only did last Friday’s horror show obliterate Saints’ goal difference but it also dropped the side into the relegation zone, a point off safety.
This weekend’s opponents currently sit in 2nd place in the Premier League after beating Aston Villa 3-0 in their last league game.
Hasenhuttl revealed in his pre-match press conference that Moussa Djenepo and Cedric Soares are both back in full training, although it’s likely that Saturday will come too soon for them.
