EPL

Southampton must fall —Guardiola

Pep Guardiola is determined to get Manchester City back to winning ways at the expense of Southampton.

City’s midweek humbling by Barcelona in the Champions League extended their winless run to four games.

It is an unfamiliar scenario for manager Guardiola and another disappointing result as Southampton visit in the Premier League today would equal the worst run of his career.

Only once has former Barca and Bayern Munich boss Guardiola gone five games without a win, at the Nou Camp more than seven years ago.

Guardiola said: ‘Managers in other parts of the club have to think short and long term but the (team) managers day by day. We are judged on what happens today, so I’m thinking about Southampton.

‘Of course we have to win because it is four times without a win and we need that. But, at the same time, we were able to win 10 times in a row, so we are now able win four, five or six times.’
