Sending the Southampton match against Man City

Manchester City can take another step towards rehabilitating the Champions League and winning a sixth consecutive match in all competitions when they visited Southampton and landed on Saturday.

The Kevin De Bruyne winner in the 35th minute gave Cityzens at home to the Wolves Club on May 2, and they are three points away from Nottingham Forest in sixth place with great superiority over goals before the last league matches.

Victory will move the Cityzens level on points with a second -place arsenal if Gunners lost at the Liverpool champion on Sunday.

This is also the last Premier League match for the Pep Guardiola team before facing Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final on May 17 (16:30 GMT).

Southampton team news against Man City

Rosk said that Southampton has a “somewhat clean health bill” after training “with great force” on Thursday, as Matius Fernandez recovered from the chest infection that caused the replacement of the midfielder during the second half in Leicester.

Defenders Nathan Ak (foot) and John Stones (thigh) remain outside the city, as Rodri does while the midfielder continues to recover from a long -term knee injury.

Erling Haland trained this week and can return an ankle injury that has kept a better scorer since March 30.

Norway International Halland was an unused alternative against wolves, but it could start building an intensity in the FA Cup final.
