While Haaland’s first, a powerful finish from inside the box to sweep Joao Cancelo’s driven cross home, came after only six minutes, even that would have felt like a lifetime for the away side. Arsenal continue to be the season pace-setters, but are not in action until Sunday, so a draw or win will see City leapfrog them this afternoon. Before the interval, the home side would add a third after another deflected shot from Gomez was turned into his own net by Davit Khocholava. Manchester City are without Kyle Walker, who underwent surgery on a groin injury earlier this week and is now in a race against time to be fit for the World Cup. The strength in depth available to Guardiola is frankly preposterous and it seems impossible to shut down all of their threats simultaneously, especially as an out-of-form team away from home with a manager on the brink of the sack. Follow the game below with Standard Sport’s dedicated live blog. “I don’t know [how long]. Clearly, Erling Haaland will dominate the headlines after scoring another brace and taking his tally up to a stunning 19 goals in 11 games for the club, though Grealish’s improvement is noteworthy given how much had been made of the 27-year-old’s form in his first season at the club following a £100m move from Aston Villa. Guardiola then afforded Haaland (and Copenhagen) some rest after the break, though Mahrez was able to add to their tally by converting a penalty after Aymeric Laporte was brought down in the box by Marko Stamenic in the aftermath of a short corner. “He’ll be a while out,” Guardiola said. Such has been Haaland’s form of late, the Manchester City star has drawn comparison to a certain Lionel Messi. Erling Haaland is, remarkably, looking to score his 15th goal in just his ninth game today, and he will be licking his lips ahead of facing a Southampton team with four defeats in their last five games and steadily falling down the table after a positive start to the season.

Red-hot Manchester City host struggling Southampton at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday and all eyes are on goalscoring machine Erling Haaland.

Manchester City will be looking to at least temporarily climb to the top of the Premier League table when they host Southampton this weekend.Pep Guard.

- Man City’s 29 goals after eight games is the joint-most at this stage of a Premier League campaign, level with their own record from 2017-18. Overall, they’ve kept two clean sheets in their last 28 on the road, with one of those a goalless draw against Man City at the Etihad last season. - Southampton have conceded the first goal in a league-high six different Premier League games this season. - Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne has eight assists in eight Premier League games this season, as many as he got in 30 appearances last season. - Man City’s Erling Haaland is averaging a goal once every 48 minutes in the Premier League so far, the best rate of anyone to score more than once in the competition’s history. It’s just one goal fewer than the Citizens’ top league scorer netted last season (Kevin De Bruyne, 15).

Southampton continue to be without Tino Livramento and Roman Lavia. Southampton have only managed to take two points from Manchester City at home since 2004, with one of these draws coming in the early stages of last season. Bazunu, a Manchester City academy player, sends the ball across to Perraud and up the pitch. "Why does the ball go to where he is?

The stadium sits under cloudless, City-blue sky, but will the home team be the one's basking in the light by the end of the afternoon? He accepts the ball just inside the Southampton half, runs, dribbles, feints, teases past the Southampton defence until he's in the box. But City recapture quickly, making a run at Bazunu's goal. The wind has definitely gone from Southampton's save, as they hold possession in their half to take some of City's sting out of the game. Salisu sees off a running challenge towards goal from Haaland just in front of the box. Manchester City could be three or even four ahead of Southampton, and have looked confidently menacing all afternoon. Salisu and Bella-Kotchap work hard to keep the out and push them back.

Manchester City v Southampton is one of four 3pm games in the If haal is ephemeral and collective, then Haaland is the exact opposite, an individual variation on the idiom about death and taxes. Thiago Silva, who turned 38 last month, has looked as good as ever for Chelsea this season. He’s already had a chance, forcing an excellent early save from Gavin Bazunu. Newcastle 0-0 Brentford Bryan Mbeumo thought he had put Brentford ahead at St James’ Park, but it was ruled out by VAR because of an offside against Ivan Toney in the build up. Manchester City 0-0 Southampton He hasn’t scored yet. There are around 25 minutes remaining in that one. He dummied to shoot on the edge of the area, chopped past Ward-Prowse and then rifled the ball past Bazunu with his left foot. If Newcastle win today they will move into the top six. Bournemouth 0-1 Leicester Bournemouth have had a big penalty appeal turned down after a lunging tackle from Evans on Fredericks. “Evans kind of shinned Fredericks down in the box, but VAR doesn’t seem to have thought the same.

Manchester City take on Southampton on Saturday as they return to Premier League action.

They might not be in the best form this season, but Ralph Hasenhuttl knows how to get a result against City and the Blues will have to be on their game today. Ralph Hasenhuttl is under pressure at Southampton and is favourite to be the next manager to be sacked. Southampton got in behind on City’s right and it looks like the manager is keen for that not to happen again. City could already be ahead as Joao Cancelo on the left found Riyad Mahrez at the back post and forced a great save from Gavin Bazunu. De Bruyne and Haaland look such a threat whenever they pick up the ball though Pep Guardiola is getting very frustrated on the sidelines, turning away a few times if the pass hasn’t been right or it wasn’t the one he wanted. Phil Foden did really well to find Cancelo, getting clattered in the process, and maybe a moment of individual brilliance is what they needed to get them firing. They’re pressing City well and forcing them into errors on the ball. It might be surprising that it wasn't Haaland who got it though, with Cancelo and Foden getting the goals so far. It may be coincidence but that Haaland chance came just after the crowd had sparked into life again to rally the team. Rodri and Riyad Mahrez deserve credit for stopping a Southampton attack, there, feeding Kevin De Bruyne, and he set up Foden. [Haaland's](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erling-haaland) remarkable form in front of goal continued on Wednesday as he notched another brace in the 5-0 win over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League.

"We had, in the first half, two things where we did not slide and they played so quick and there is immediately a big chance. He had been switched to right-back in the absence of Kyle Walker in midweek but whichever flank that Cancelo plays on he is a creative force. I think this then makes it a little bit harder for us then to press. The supporters seemed a little bemused by it, so accustomed have they become to seeing him score. He helped us again, he keeps the ball and fights. Even the club stuck him on the front page of the programme for this one. The goal maintained Haaland's outrageous scoring while heaping further misery on Hasenhuttl but perhaps the story of this game is that the striker's goals were not needed. Cancelo was the best player on the pitch, while Foden rivalled him until being withdrawn just before the hour mark. The finish for his goal was even cuter, dinking the ball beyond Gavin Bazunu after being played in by De Bruyne. Jack Grealish dropped to the bench with Riyad Mahrez coming in. The 22-year-old forward had been rested against FC Copenhagen in midweek along with Kevin De Bruyne and their return provided the impetus. Joao Cancelo's brilliant solo run started the scoring midway through the first half and Phil Foden added a second soon after with City utterly dominant.

Left Mahrez for City's third goal as the winger drifted into the box and finished past Bazunu excellently. Had four touches to his name midway through the second half and two had come from kick-offs. Did lose the ball in the lead up to City's second goal that was eventually turned home by Foden. Saints fans took a sharp intake of breath whenever he held the ball for longer than required. Got sold a dummy by Joao Cancelo for the opener before the Portuguese defender drilled it past Bazunu. Pulled off an excellent stop to deny Erling Haaland midway through the second half as the striker tried to knock it round him.

Manchester City moved, at least temporarily, to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday.

Jack Grealish and Phil Foden had shots saved by Bazunu late on, while Sergio Gomez had an effort that went wide in the latter stages. After the break, City made it three with Riyad Mahrez volleying home at the back post following a diagonal ball from Rodri. The lead was doubled not long after the half-hour mark as Kevin De Bruyne slipped the ball to Foden at the edge of the box.
