Manchester City can take another step towards next season's Champions League when they visit bottom-of-the-table Southampton on Saturday.
Four wins on the bounce for Pep Guardiola's side means they occupy third in the Premier League table with just three games to go. Their late-season surge combined with Arsenal's malaise has many tipping the Cityzens for a second-place finish, which would be pretty remarkable given how they ended 2024.
City have been made to work for their two previous league victories, with Aston Villa and Wolves performing well at the Etihad but succumbing to one-goal defeats. A Kevin De Bruyne strike helped them past Vitor Pereira's in-form Wolves last time out.
Southampton missed a golden chance to steer clear of Derby County's all-time low Premier League points tally when they visited Leicester last week, but Simon Rusk's Saints were firmly second best in a 2-0 defeat.
Relegated for over a month, Southampton supporters are desperate to get to 2025-26.
Here is guide to the clash.
