One of the more pointless EPL games taking place on Saturday sees Southampton and Man City meet at St. Mary's, where both teams will likely be less than fully motivated to give their all. The hosts are down and out following what has been a dreadful attempt at surviving the Premier League seas. Currently without a manager following the departure of Ivan Juric, making it two managerial exits for the Saints this season, Saturday's hosts have at least done a better job of hanging in games of late, losing none of their last three by more than a single goal. Can they keep this up against City? 

It would be easy to assume that Pep Guardiola's men will simply steamroller the Saints, which they easily could, but they've taken the more low-key approach in recent games, while they'll also be looking to save themselves for the upcoming FA Cup final.

Our Southampton vs Manchester City Prediction

This game is something of a meaningless one for all involved. Both teams have fallen short of expectations, that's a fact. However, having avoided heavy defeats of late, the hosts will likely be looking to be as solid as possible, while the visitors will want to build momentum ahead of the FA Cup final without risking any injuries, so don't be too surprised if this is a relatively low-scoring game. After all, the visitors have made a habit of winning in low-scoring fashion of late. Our Southampton vs Man City Pick: Under 3.5 Goals. 

Prediction:
