    Matt: No game is easy. However, City’s favourable run-in and imperious form, doesn’t bode well for Arsenal who have Newcastle, City and Liverpool away to come.

    They are shredding Southampton every time they come forward. Pace, movement, pace of pass, vision.

    The [Southampton] defence has too often been exposed. They've lacked cover, lacked strength, lacked goals.

    You can't see enough points in Southampton's fixture list to see safety and you can see Manchester City pressuring Arsenal all the way to the wire.

    Yogi: Said throughout last season Grealish was playing really well, people need to start seeing past goals and assists. Guardiola always said what he did was make space for others. Now he is doing that still and also learnt how Guardiola wants him to attack. England's best.

    Instant response from Man City, clever penalty from Alvarez down the middle. Safe penalty.

    Oh Kevin de Bruyne is felled inside the area and Manchester City have a penalty.

    Erling Haaland is now on the bench so Julian Alvarez is taking this...

    Where there's a goal there's hope. Three minutes since he came on, Mara pulls one back.

    Promising run into the penalty area by Djenepo and a tidy finish by Mara.

    One back!

    Sekou Mara, who only came on three minutes ago, is in the right place to drive in a low finish after really good work by fellow substitute Moussa Djenepo.

    Instant impact off the bench.

    Well that's just cruel, Pep!

    On a hat-trick after becoming the quickest player to score 30 goals in a Premier League season, Erling Haaland is taken off and replaced by Julian Alvarez.

    He is returning from injury and won't be short of future hat-trick opportunities however. Probably just makes him hungrier.

    Delighted to see Grealish finally getting the goals and assists his form has merited, not least after being slated continuously by people who apparently thought his price tag meant he had to be scoring every 5 minutes.

    Outrageous! What a finish this is. He's got so much to do the cross is behind him and he's had to adjust. Bazunu no chance, they are too open Southampton. Grealish dinks it to the back and the execution is outstanding.

    I've been doing this job for 42 years and I cannot remember seeing a goalscorer like this. He is a goalscoring machine.

    I'm lost for superlatives. Absolutely stunning.

    Stop it Haaland!

    What a goal!

    Kevin de Bruyne plays the ball down the left for Jack Grealish, who spots Erling Haaland unmarked at the back post and floats a great cross that sets up Haaland perfectly for the overhead and he duly obliges, hooking a stunning finish home.

    Is there any type of goal he can't score?

    Southampton appear out of energy now and this could get bad for them now as Manchester City look hungry for more goals.

    You have to feel for Ainsley Maitland-Niles. He has been up against an in-form Jack Grealish and has had a bit of a torrid afternoon. He hasn't been getting much support from his team-mates in fairness.

    Lethal on the ground and in the air. Quick across the ground and as strong as an ox.
