Champions To Pile More Misery On The Saints
City have watched Liverpool burst ahead in the title race, yet the Blues remain in good form.
The champions have lost only two of their opening 10, winning eight, but Jurgen Klopp's team have collected victories with remarkable consistency.
Southampton are set to play at the Etihad Stadium twice in the days ahead, including a Carabao Cup fixture on Tuesday, followed by their Premier League encounter at the weekend.
The Saints were humiliated in a 9-0 thrashing by Leicester on Friday, equalling the biggest Premier League defeat in history.
According to Tom Doyle of the Evening Standard, Southampton's first-team coaches and players have donated their wages earned from the day of the match to a club charity.
City are unlikely to offer Ralph Hasenhuttl any relief, and they cannot afford a slip as they trail Liverpool.
However, a positive result in Manchester in either the EFL Cup or the league would be a huge morale boost for the travelling party.
Pep Guardiola must answer defensive questions after losing Aymeric Laporte to a long-term injury. City's defence have appeared vulnerable as a result, and Fernandinho was sent-off playing at centre-back in the last league game against Villa.
The Blues remain superior in the attacking department over the Saints, and they will believe they can once again punish Hasenhuttl's back four after the catastrophic experience against the Foxes.
Prediction: City win 5-0
United To Defeat The Cherries On The South Coast
The Red Devils had failed to win a Premier League match away from home since February before defeating Norwich 3-1 on Sunday at Carrow Road.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team have been chronic underachievers since the Norwegian was handed full-time control of the club last season.
However, the seeds of recovery are present, and Solskjaer will hope his players can now perform closer to their best on a regular basis.
The Old Trafford giants have suffered debilitating injuries this season, and Paul Pogba is expected to be sidelined until December, further stretching the squad.
Anthony Martial's return to the starting XI at Norwich rejuvenated his team-mates, and his chemistry with Marcus Rashford and Daniel James was the deciding factor.
Bournemouth enter the match with just two wins in their last 10 in all competitions, and United will be encouraged by their opponents' poor form.
The Cherries are goalless in their last three games, and the motivation will be high to register against the Red Devils in Saturday's early kick-off.
Callum Wilson has remained in solid form this season, scoring five goals in 10 league appearances, but the England international will need service through the middle against Harry Maguire.
United leapt to seventh after their win in Norfolk, and they could climb as high as fifth with another away victory if results fall their way this weekend.
Prediction: United win 2-1
