Before the weekend match, on Saturday at home against "Southampton," "Manchester City" manager Pep Guardiola stated that he would like to see more fans at the game. For example, in the midweek match against "RB Leipzig," there were slightly over 38 thousand spectators at Etihad Stadium, which has a capacity of about 54 thousand people. Guardiola said: "I would like more fans to come to the match on Saturday. We will be very tired. 'Southampton' is a very dangerous opponent. Therefore, I invite everyone to come at 3 pm (England time) to watch our game." "Manchester City" has played two home games in the "Premier" league this season, and both times there were visibly empty seats at Etihad Stadium. Although the rules in England currently allow stadiums to be fully filled, "City" has not yet managed to have a sold-out stadium with their own fans.
