Manchester City hosts Southampton in English EFL Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 29th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester)
The men of Guardiola will probably start this match right off the bat and, as usual, will be putting pressure on modest Southampton, so the victory of the Citizens seems to be a settled and a big deal even with rotation. Man City had just squeezed Villa in the championship, and in general, there is no doubt that Manchester’s attack is more than effective, so Southampton can experience one more not very pleasant test.

Hasenhuttl’s men have just lost to the third championship team, Leicester, with a devastating 0-9 score at home, and I don’t know how they will recover from a psychological point of view. Everyone understands that the League Cup match is a good way of relieving, but to the game with Man City, which forever runs forward and scores as many as possible, may well end with a similar score. In general, I can’t be jealous of the Saints very much - after the shameful domestic loss, they will also suffer a defeat to the champion.
The difference in class, the psychological shape, and condition of the visitors - these are the things that should lead Manchester City to an easy victory at Etihad. Guardiola will surely make a small rotation because the calendar is monstrously overloaded for the team, but even such rearrangements will not prevent the hosts from dominating, and the victory with at least a 2-goal difference should be expected from this match. Gabi Jesus, Mahrez, and Aguero are surely determined to replenish their scorer account.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -2.0 handicap
