As the end of the 2024/25 season approaches, Southampton prepare to host Manchester City, where both clubs will aim to put a different spin on their seasons.
Simon Rusk, back in the dugout for a second interim stint after the sackings of Russell Martin and Ivan Juric, initially gave the south coast side a brief lift in performance.
However, any hopes of a late-season miracle quickly faded, and the Saints look destined to end the season anchored to the foot of the table with a meager 11 points to show for their efforts.
On the flip side, Pep Guardiola’s men have hit their stride at just the right moment. Four consecutive victories have reignited their push for a strong finish, and with Champions League qualification now firmly in their grasp, the Sky Blues appear set to salvage a top-five spot from a season that never quite clicked into top gear.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Southampton vs. Man City predicted lineups, team news
Southampton are once again likely to be without the injured pair of Albert Gronbaek and Charlie Taylor as they prepare to host Manchester City. Paul Onuachu, who made an impact off the bench in the second half against Leicester last weekend, is expected to spearhead the attack from the outset this time.
The Saints enjoy the rare advantage of a fully fit squad otherwise, but aside from Onuachu’s anticipated inclusion, interim manager Simon Rusk isn’t expected to ring too many changes to his lineup.
Southampton predicted lineup (3-4-2-1, right to left): Ramsdale (GK) — Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens — Walker-Peters, Downes, Ugochukwu, Manning — Fernandes, Sulemana — Stewart.
Injured: Gronbaek, Taylor.
Suspended: None.
For the visitors, star striker Erling Haaland is pushing for a return to the starting XI after making the bench in City’s narrow 1-0 win over Wolves last weekend. His inclusion could see Bernardo Silva drop out, with Kevin De Bruyne shifting into his more familiar role behind the striker.
Pep Guardiola will be without Rodri, John Stones, and Nathan Ake, but otherwise has a strong squad at his disposal as City aim to maintain momentum.
Man City predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Ederson (GK) — Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly — Silva, Kovacic — Marmoush, De Bruyne, Doku — Haaland.
Injured: Ake, Stones (thigh), Rodri (ACL), Rodri.
Suspended: None.
