Manchester City XI vs Southampton – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester City make the trip to Southampton this afternoon as the Citizens chase Champions League qualification.

Pep Guardiola’s side have found form following their mid-season struggles, winning five consecutive games in all competitions. Champions League qualification is now in City’s hands and the Blues can move level on points with second-placed Arsenal with a win on the South Coast. City also have an FA Cup final to look forward to, with Guardiola’s team set to face Crystal Palace at Wembley next weekend.

PEP (On twists and turns in the UCL race) think there are six or seven teams that can qualify. We have to make a lot of points and after, if we make three victories, we will be there.

It is in our hands. We don’t need to wait for anything else. This is what we have to do. Win… pic.twitter.com/XMizhTBxAq

Southampton’s fate is sealed with the Saints set for the second-tier. A season of struggle saw Southampton relegated with a record seven games to spare. Currently on 11 points, Southampton need one more point to avoid equalling Derby County’s record for the worst-ever Premier League season.
