Overview

• Erling Haaland is fit and available for selection after recovering from an ankle injury sustained in March's FA Cup quarter-final.
• Pep Guardiola has yet to confirm if Haaland will start, but the striker is expected to build match fitness ahead of the FA Cup final next week.
• Nathan Ake, Rodri, and Oscar Bobb remain sidelined despite resuming partial training and will not feature in the Southampton match.
• A victory at St Mary’s Stadium would strengthen Manchester City’s bid for Champions League qualification with two league games remaining.
• Southampton, already relegated, pose a low-stakes challenge for City as they look to maintain momentum in the season’s final stretch.
