Manchester City will be confident of closing the Premier League title gap on league leaders Arsenal this weekend as they travel to relegation battling Southampton on April 8.

Southampton vs Man City lineups

Saints interim head coach Ruben Selles has confirmed little change on the injury front for the hosts with Valentino Livramento, Che Adams, Mohamed Salisu and Armel Bella-Kotchap all still sidelined.

Southampton starting XI (4-5-1): Bazunu (GK) — Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Caleta-Car, Perraud — Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Alcaraz, Lavia, Elyounoussi — Sulemana

Southampton subs: McCarthy (GK), Maitland-Niles, Walcott, Sara, Onuachu, Lyanco, Aribo, Orsic, Diallo

Guardiola's only injury call comes over top scorer Erling Haaland after he missed the 4-1 win over Liverpool last weekend with a groin injury but the Spaniard has confirmed he will be in the squad.

However, with Bayern Munich on the horizon in midweek Champions League action, Guardiola is unlikely to risk him from the start, with Phil Foden still out.

Man City starting XI (3-2-4-1): Ederson (GK) — Walke, Dias, Ake — Stones, Rodri — Mahrez, De Bruyne, Silva, Grealish — Alvarez

Man City subs: Ortega (GK), Akanji, Phillips, Laporte, Gomez, Palmer, Perrone, Lewis, Haaland

Southampton vs Man City betting odds

City look to be hitting unstoppable form at the perfect time, ahead of the final weeks of the season, with victory over Liverpool underlining their determination to try and catch Arsenal.

Guardiola's charges have won their last seven games, across all competitions, with an impressive return of just two goals conceded in that run.

Prediction: Man City to win 3-0
