***Official Match Thread | Saints v City***
Posted: Sun May 13, 2018 7:34 amIt's been a long and successful season which has culminated with us walking away with the Premier League and the League Cup. There's been a few 'downs' on the way but too little to complain about. Hopefully we'll go out with a bang against our old manager and give the guys a real party down on the South coast. Today is the final assault knowing that the we has already been won.
Oh, and very unlikely, Southampton could still go down.
And oh again, a win would give us 100 points and break the century of points total for the first time. If we do win, will this team be known as the 'Ceturions'?
Here's a few facts and stats, and there are many more, to start the day off.
Head-to-head
Southampton have won just one of the last nine meetings, drawing two and losing six.
However, City have only won two of their last six visits to Southampton, drawing two and losing two.
Southampton
Saints have won two of their last three Premier League matches; their previous two league victories had taken 22 attempts.
They are unbeaten in four league games, winning two and drawing two, having lost the previous four.
Only West Brom (18) have earned fewer points at home than Saints' tally of 19 this season.
Their record Premier League defeat is 7-1, away at Everton and Liverpool in November 1996 and January 1999 respectively.
They have lost three of their seven league games since Mark Hughes took over, winning two and drawing two.
Manchester City
City's tally of 105 goals, 97 points and 31 victories are all Premier League records for a single campaign.
They could become the first team to reach 100 points in an English top-flight campaign. The record - based on three points for a win - is held by Liverpool, who claimed the equivalent of 98 points across 42 games in 1978-79.
Victory would set a top-flight record of 32 in a season, eclipsing Tottenham's tally of 31 from 1960-61.
Pep Guardiola's side are two goals shy of the club record 107 they scored in the top flight in 1936-37.
City are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning four and scoring 15 goals.
Kevin De Bruyne and Leroy Sane lead the Premier League in assists this season, with 15 each.
