Pep Guardiola’s side returned to the Etihad with a point after a stalemate away to the Saints.
City dominated territory, possession and chances at the St Mary’s Stadium with substitute Omar Marmoush coming closest to breaking the deadlock when his late shot cannoned back off the bar.
The draw, along with the rest of the weekend’s results, left City in fourth place in the Premier League table, one point behind behind Nottingham Forest in third but two ahead of Chelsea and Aston Villa.
