Team News

Southampton
Man City
  • Maya Yoshida is available again after missing Southampton's midweek win through suspension.
  • Jan Bednarek is unlikely to feature after suffering a head injury against Swansea on Tuesday night.
  • Steven Davis is expected to sit out Southampton's final game of the season, but Mario Lemina has a chance of making the squad.
  • Few changes are expected from Mark Hughes on Sunday against his former club.
  • Pep Guardiola made several changes to the side that beat Brighton 4-1 on Wednesday night, giving starts to the likes of Claudio Bravo and Yaya Toure.
  • The Manchester City boss may recall on his usual starting XI on Sunday as the Premier League champions look to finish their final game of the season with a bang.
  • David Silva returned to Spain for personal reasons during the week, but it remains unclear whether he will also miss City's last game of the season.
  • Benjamin Mendy will be desperate to start against Southampton in order to prove his fitness to France boss Didier Deschamps ahead of the 2018 World Cup.

Prediction

  • Barring a dramatic goal swing on the final day of the season, Southampton have all but secured their top-flight status for another season. Despite that, Mark Hughes must ensure his players know the threat of relegation is still alive to prevent any complacency creeping in against the free-scoring Premier League champions.
  • Even though Manchester City have won the league already, they can still become the first side in Premier League history to break the 100-point mark. Only a win on Sunday is good enough for Pep Guardiola's side to manage that.
  • Southampton have enjoyed some success at home to City in recent years but Hughes will not record a win against his former side on Sunday.

  • Pure class from Guardiola by letting Diaz and Phoden play, despite that game really meant for City as we saw. And sort of 2012 deja vu:)

  • @tar88s *Foden

  • Saints should start with Austin over long. Austin defends very well and fills in for people when necessary when saints lose it. Long is prone to losing concentration and obviously really struggled for goals. I think the prediction is unlikely with saints being at home and their keeper being in good form. More likely is Man City to win by one goal

  • Jesus to score

  • very good

  • Congratulations Mark Hughes!

  • The Saint is park the buss, and it's all about times they will concede goals. It would be amazing if Claudio Brvao scores today. :D

  • If Swansea win and Southampton lose , Southampton will be relegated or what?

  • @Cannavaro69 Only if there's a 10-goal swing in Swansea's favour...

  • @MSalt7 or City 6-0 and Swansea 4-0 :)))

  • Manchester City win or -1.5

  • draw
