Intro:

Saints manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking to build upon his side's stunning 4-0 victory against Newcastle as they travel to the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City have devastated most visitors at home this season, and Manuel Pellegrini's side undoubtedly need to win in order to keep pressure mounting on title rivals Chelsea and Liverpool.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Mauricio Pochettino, Southampton manager:

"We always have the belief in every single game that we are going to win. We know for sure that we are going to be facing a very tough side in Manchester City, a side that is definitely a candidate to actually win the Premier League, one of the best squads in England in the Premier League, but also in Europe, I would say, but despite that we're still going with the belief that we are going to play our game, and that we're going to get something positive out of that game."
