Manuel Pellegrini’s side were locked in a title battle with Chelsea and Liverpool and needed a win to keep the pressure on.
After a draw at Arsenal the previous week, City had eight matches remaining in our campaign.
Pellegrini selected a strong side to take on Mauricio Pochettino’s European-chasing Saints with Joe Hart in goal and a back four of Pablo Zabaleta, Martin Demichelis, Vincent Kompany and Aleksandar Kolarov.
In midfield, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Jesus Navas, Samir Nasri and David Silva were supporting central striker Edin Dzeko.
