Manchester City are now 12 games unbeaten in all competitions following Saturday’s 4-1 victory at Southampton to keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal.

A brace from Erling Haaland alongside a Jack Grealish strike and Julian Alvarez penalty proved enough to help Pep Guardiola’s side to a 4-1 win against relegation doomed Southampton on Saturday evening.

The win leaves City five points adrift Arsenal with eight games to play until the end of the season and the pair will face off at the Etihad Stadium in just under three weeks time.

City are also in the thick of a testing European run, seeking to win a maiden Champions League trophy and face German giants Bayern Munich in the semi-final.

Haaland has now scored 30 league goals and is the odds-on favourite to win the Golden Boot at a price of 1/50 according to Premier League betting sites ahead of Tottenham’s Harry Kane (20/1).

Next up for City in the league is Leicester City at home followed by Arsenal, Fulham, West Ham, Leeds, Everton, Chelsea and finally Brentford on the last day of the season.

Meanwhile, Southampton are 1/7 to face the drop according to the latest relegation odds and the Saints are preparing for life in England’s second tier for the first time since 2012.

The bookies have priced Leicester City and Nottingham Forest as the remaining two relegation favourites, with Everton and Bournemouth on the cusp – anything could happen.
