Their teams are at opposite ends of the Premier League table, but Man City manager Pep Guardiola says he 'will learn' from Southampton boss Russell Martin.
They are bottom of the Premier League, with a single point from their first nine games of the season.
Towards the end of the first half, the visitors had the majority of possession. It was down to 42.3% by the end. As a guide, City’s previous two opponents, Sparta Prague and Wolves, have had 20.1% and 22.4% respectively. "But if I end up losing my job at some point, which is inevitable, at least I can say I have stuck to what I want to be, as a person first, then a leader and then as a manager.
The circumstances are significantly different - given the size of the club he was going into, and the knowledge he could call on generational talents in Xavi and Andres Iniesta, and the man he regards as the greatest ever in Lionel Messi - but Pep Guardiola needed to do something similar when he was given the Barcelona job, aged 37 - a year younger than Martin is now.
