Man City have won their last three Premier League home games against Southampton
Southampton have plenty left to play for as they bid to finish above the club that signed three of their players last summer (Liverpool) and the one that took their manager (Tottenham), but their record against Man City suggests that they will be disappointed. Not only have they been beaten on three straight trips to face the Premier League runners-up, they were trailing by the interval in each of the encounters too. The hosts also happen to be on a five-match winning streak which is comfortably their longest of 2015, and led at half time in all of those victories.
Recommended Bet: Back Man City to lead at half time and full time @ 2.3211/8
Southampton have netted on each of their last nine Premier League trips to Man City
Both teams to score is a shorter price than usual at 1.618/13, though that is hardly surprising as the bet has paid out on all five occasions that the Saints have visited the Etihad Stadium. Ronald Koeman's men are fresh from a remarkable contest against Aston Villa in which they notched six times - five of them within the opening 38 minutes - and there is just one top-five sidethat they have fired a blank away to. Meanwhile, Man City are the Premier League's highest scorers, asserting an 11-goal advantage over champions Chelsea by striking ten times across their past two games.
Recommended Bet: Back both teams to score @ 1.618/13
Sergio Aguero has scored 25 goals in 32 Premier League appearances this season
The Argentine has been the chief beneficiary of Man City's recent prolific patch, registering eight times in their past six outings to assert a five-goal lead in the Premier League top scorer standings. Before that surge, Aguero was behind both Diego Costa and Harry Kane, whereas now the first league golden boot of his career is a near certainty. You might recall that he has prior experience of scoring on the final day too, so back him to celebrate in appropriate fashion.
Recommended Bet: Back Aguero to score @ 1.9110/11
