Southampton drew with Bristol City on Tuesday but, before then, they had won seven in a row in the Championship, and they played really well to knock Arsenal out in the last round too.

I was at St Mary’s Stadium when Saints knocked Manchester City out of the League Cup in 2023, which shows you what could happen here.

I don’t see a shock this time, though.

Tonda Eckert has done a phenomenal job with Saints but I still think City will come out comfortable winners, as long as they are not as wasteful as they were against Burnley.

Sutton’s prediction: 3-0
