Manchester City looks to keep rolling when they host Southampton in a very intriguing Premier League contest on Saturday. Manchester City is coming off a 1-0 road win against Leicester City last Saturday while Southampton got a 0-0 home draw against West Ham United on Saturday. Man City is in third place in the Premier League standings with nine points in four games while Southampton is in 14th place with three points in four games.

The player to watch in this game is Jack Grealish. On September 2 he made his first appearance for England since his move to Manchester City from Aston Villa and he didn’t disappoint, particularly in the second half, as he managed an assist in the 4-0 win against Hungary. Grealish has looked good with Manchester City so far and he can create many scoring opportunities for Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus, giving an edge to Manchester City. Let’s take a closer look at where the value is at in this matchup.
