Former Guardiola ace shares what he deems Man City manager's Achilles heel
Former Guardiola ace shares what he deems Man City manager's Achilles heel. The Saints host the Citizens in the Premier League on Sunday with Guardiola's side in an unfamiliar position of having lost three of their last four. Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has highlighted what he feels could have led to Manchester City's loss in form ahead of their Premier League clash on Sunday. The Saints host the reigning English champions at St Mary's but, unusually, Pep Guardiola's charges are in a position where they will be desperate to get a result. Last season, the Citizens appeared indomitable but they go to the south coast on the back of two consecutive league defeats, against Crystal Palace and Leicester City, for a total of three in four including the Chelsea loss. Southampton captain Hojbjerg played under Guardiola at Bayern Munich so will have a decent enough idea of what Sunday's opposition manager is like and what makes him tick. In an interview with The Times, the Denmark international suggested that the Spaniard's intensity and obsessive attention to detail is a double-edged sword that may be going against him now. "He is the most demanding person, not only coach, that I have ever met," said Hojbjerg. "We sit on the bus after we have won and he sits on the bus watching the game and then he is in his office with two laptops and a television and he is analysing. "Maybe that's what makes him the greatest.. but also maybe that is what makes him lose, because it is too much, he drowns." According to BBC Sport, Southampton have won just one of their last 11 Premier League meetings with Manchester City, while the visitors will be looking to win five in a row against Saints in the Premier League for the first time.

Wigan 0-2 Southampton: Hojbjerg and Cedric seal FA Cup semi spot
It says everything about the modern managerial mayhem that Mark Hughes could preside over one Premier League side’s exit to lowly opposition and yet find himself presiding over an FA Cup quarter final with another, in the same season.Exiting to fourth tier and third tier sides would have been unprecedented in the circumstances and Hughes was the most relived man in the stadium after being run even closer than his Stoke side were at Coventry in January. Class told in the end – though only because Wigan switched off for one fateful minute.There was full northern hospitality for the visiting side: bitter cold, swirling wind, a bumpy, letter-strewn pitch and two early ‘welcome to Wigan’ challenges for Guido Carrillo and Dusan Tadic when the Hughes managerial era at Saints got under way. Portugal international Cedric Soares celebrates after racing the length of the pitch to score Southampton's second late on The Latics defence could only watch on as Cedric jetted down the wing and lashed the ball into the bottom corner The full-back is mobbed by his team-mates after confirming Southampton's passage to Wembley in the dying moments Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg celebrates scoring his first goal for Southampton, putting his side on the road to Wembley Hojbjerg celebrates his goal-scoring heroics while also catching his team-mate Jack Stephens in a sensitive area of the body Wigan players stood around dejected after seeing their impressive cup run come to an end upon home turf Despite having a difficult season with his former club Stoke, new boss Mark Hughes will now preside over a FA Cup semi-finalHughes braved the arctic weather full-on – neither gloves not hat for him, while Wigan manager Paul Cook went for both – but there was no disguising what a treacherous quarter final assignment this was for the Premier League side 29 places higher in the football pyramid.Wigan are not a prolific goal-scoring side but they defend for their lives and they can mix their game up, too – playing out from the back when the moment presents. Though their creative lynchpin Nick Powell was missing, full back Nathan Byrne was an unexpected creative nexus as they refused Southampton to gain a foothold in the game. The tally of ten corners and eight shots in the first half told its own stories and the half-time break couldn’t come soon enough for the visiting side.
