Claiming a victory away from home the Premier League is always worth celebrating, and we're predicting that Pep Guardiola and his Man City side will do exactly that at St. Mary's Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The stats below, including long-running head-to-head (H2H) records, suggest they have a great chance of delivering, and the bookmakers think so too. The best available price is 1.25 on Man City to win. We think it's well worth backing.

Goal Statistics

A truly awful PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Southampton fans, as should a 11 English Premier League matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

Manchester City's forwards have been excellent of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 3 consecutive English Premier League games. A PG of 2.5 suggests that run should continue on Saturday afternoon.
