With just three matches of the Premier League season to go, City are on course to qualify for next year’s UEFA Champions League.
Unbeaten in our last nine matches in all competitions, Pep Guardiola’s men have found form at a crucial time in the season, with a three-point buffer on Nottingham Forest, who sit just outside of European qualification.
It promises to be a thrilling finale in the race for Champions League football, but City know that three wins will guarantee our spot in Europe’s elite competition for 2025/26.
SOUTHAMPTON v CITY: MATCH PREVIEW
The first of those assignments sees us take on Southampton, who are in need of points for a very different reason.
All the Saints need is one point from their final three matches to avoid matching an unwanted record of the lowest tally in Premier League history, currently held by Derby County.
They went close to surpassing the Rams in their last game only to concede in stoppage time to Fulham.
City need to make sure that search goes on for another weekend, and training hit a typically impressive tempo at the CFA ahead of that trip south.
