It's worst vs. (almost) first as Southampton host Manchester City in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup.
The Saints are dead last in the Premier League, having lost six league matches on the bounce and going without a win in league play since Oct. 19. Unsurprisingly, they sacked former manager Ralph Hasenhüttl in November and appointed Nathan Jones to take the helm of the club, with the Welsh manager still trying to put his stamp on the side.
Southampton will be happy to get away from league action and back to cup competition, where they've managed a pair of wins in the FA Cup and League Cup since Jones' hiring. However, they'll face a Manchester City side that has dominated in this competition in recent years, with the Sky Blues having won six titles over the past decade.
City always take this competition seriously, and given their status as perennial contenders for every piece of hardware on offer, they are favourites to win again this year.
However, City aren't taking Southampton lightly. Pep Guardiola wants to see the same level of competitiveness from his players as they would show against any top team, despite the Saints' turbulent season thus far.
“It’s an away game and- it’s always better to play at home,” the City manager said. “They are in a difficult position. A new manager. We knew with Ralph how we struggled every season.
“They have changed some patterns and movements, that is normal, and we have to adapt and we will try to impose our game."
