90	FULL TIME: SOUTHAMPTON 3-1 MAN CITY.
90	Three minutes of the five added on have been played and Southampton are still defending with pure resilience. Are City's title chances all but gone?
89	Barry has not had a good game tonight. He receives the ball from a throw-in but plays his pass back to Milner straight back out. He and City will want to put this performance quickly behind them - they can't wait for the final whistle.
87	Pochettino has probably won at least some of the Southampton faithful over tonight. City have not been at their best, but all the credit must go to the home side who have hardly put a foot wrong.
85	After a long period of possession for Southampton Rodriguez races through on goal, one-on-one with the keeper, but is pulled back for offside.
84	Southampton are just keeping hold of the ball now, running the clock down.
82	Kolarov whips in a wicked cross in search of Dzeko but Hooiveld beats him to the ball.
80	Young midfielder James Ward-Prowse replaces Davis.
78	If Saints hold on to the win, which looks very likely at the moment, they will go six points clear of the relegation zone. They will also record their first victory over a side in the top half of the Premier League for the first time this season.
75	Half a chance for City as Kolarov pulls the ball back from the byline. Three City players await the cross in the danger area and the ball ricochets around dangerously before eventually falling into the hands of Boruc.
73	Silva has had a quiet evening and is replaced now by Maicon.
71	Frazer Richarson replaces Fox, who has picked up a slight knock.
69	It is all too easy for Southampton. The City fans who have travelled to the south cost must be wondering what has happened to their side.
67	Second City change as Aleksandar Kolarov comes on for Lescott.
66	Schneiderlin receives the ball from Lambert 20-yards out and his first time shot flashes just wide of the post.
64	Silva has had a very quiet evening by his standards, as has Yaya Toure. Are City throwing away the title?
61	Goalscorer Puncheon is replaced by Adam Lallana for the remainder of the game.
60	Yaya Toure hits a shot into row Z, much to the delight of the home crowd. Not a good effort from the City skipper.
58	This would be a massive result for Southampton and for Mauricio Pochettino, who has not had the easiest time since controversially taking over from Nigel Adkins. He's out on the edge of his technical area now giving orders to his players.
56	First substitution for City as Nasri makes way for James Milner.
55	Aguero races into the box to meet Silva's chipped through ball and gets a shot on target as Boruc tips his half volley wide.
52	Saints have thrown away more points (24) from winning positions than any other Premier League side this season, but that Barry own goal puts them right back in the driving seat.
50	Clichy picks up a booking for a foul on Puncheon.
48	GOAL! SOUTHAMPTON 3-1 MAN CITY: GARETH BARRY steers a Saints cross into his own net. It is an awful own goal and puts Southampton right back in control of the game.
48	Puncheon lashes a shot over the bar after good work by Lambert. He should have at least hit the target.
47	The first shot of the half comes from Saints as Davis' long range effort deflects kindly for Hart.
46	City kick-off at the start of the second half.
45	HALF TIME: SOUTHAMPTON 2-1 MAN CITY.
45	Southampton are furious with the referee! Rodriguez goes to ground under the challenge of Yaya Toure inside the City box and wants a penalty but Martin Atkinson only awards a corner.
45	Chances at either end as Morgan Schneiderlin fires Davis' shot into the side netting before David Silva hits a first time volley straight at Artur Boruc.
43	Southampton still look dangerous as we approach the half time whistle, but the City goal will certainly cause one or two nerves among their players.
41	Good response from Southampton and Puncheon drags a half volley wide from just outside the box.
39	GOAL! SOUTHAMPTON 2-1 MAN CITY: Wonderful break from City and they are right back in the game as DZEKO steers in Zabaleta's cross from six-yards out.
38	Another opportunity for Southampton to stretch their lead as Nathaniel Clyne's shot from 20-yards deflects wickedly wide of Hart's post.
36	Southampton look comfortable in the lead but a City goal would change everything.
34	Zabaleta goes for goal as he cuts onto his left foot and bends a shot around the far post from 18-yards.
32	Rodriguez almost scores a third for Southampton but strokes his shot wide from a tight angle.
29	City win a free-kick just outside the Saints penalty area. It is a decent opportunity for the visitors but Aguero drives it straight into the wall.
27	Joleon Lescott is pulled back by Lambert who receives a booking from the referee.
24	Could tonight be Southampton's first win under Mauricio Pochettino? What a result it would be for the relegation threatened side. This scoreline will also be of huge interest to Manchester United fans.
22	GOAL! SOUTHAMPTON 2-0 MAN CITY: Saints double their lead thanks to a howler from Hart. He fails to get hold of Lambert's initial shot and the ball spills through his hands into the path of STEVEN DAVIS who pokes the ball in from close range.
19	Southampton are defending well at the moment with City starting to see more of the ball in attacking areas.
16	Sergio Aguero does well for City as he races into the box and plays an inviting ball across the face of goal, but unfortunately for the visitors he has no teammates in support.
14	The home crowd applaud the defending of Danny Fox as he stands up Samir Nasri and blocks his cross before emerging with the ball.
12	A long ball over the City defence catches Javi Garcia off guard and Rodriguez almost gets on the end of it but is beaten to the loose ball by Hart.
10	City are yet to respond to going behind and it is still all Southampton in the opening exchanges. The away fans were making plenty of noise prior to the goal, but it has all gone rather quiet from them now.
7	GOAL! SOUTHAMPTON 1-0 MAN CITY: Saints are off to a flying start as JASON PUNCHEON puts the ball into an empty net after Rodriguez's shot is saved by Hart.
6	It is Southampton who are asking the early questions here and most of the football is being played in City's half.
4	Jay Rodriguez looks to get on the end of a chipped through ball but Joe Hart reads the danger and rushes off his line.
3	There is an element of pressure on Manchester City tonight after they fell nine points behind Manchester United at the top of the league last weekend. Tonight is a must win game for them.
1	Referee Martin Atkinson gets the game underway.
0	Manchester City XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Garcia, Lescott, Clichy, Yaya Toure, Barry, Nasri, Silva, Aguero, Dzeko.
0	Southampton XI: Boruc, Clyne, Yoshida, Hooiveld, Fox, Cork, Schneiderlin, Puncheon, Davis, Rodriguez, Lambert.
0	The big news for Manchester City is that Yaya Toure starts the game after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations. Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero form the strike partnership while Javi Garcia continues in defence.
0	The team news is in at Saint Mary's and Luke Shaw is unable to shake off an injury for Southampton. He is replaced by Danny Fox at left back.
