Pep Guardiola confirmed Erling Haaland 'will be ready' for Saturday's trip to Southampton and the Manchester City star is expected to start.
City head to St Mary's with a chance to close the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal to just five points, before Mikel Arteta's side face Liverpool on Sunday. Guardiola will want to remain in touching distance of his title rivals in the build-up to a colossal meeting between the two at the end of the month.
In Southampton, they face a side bottom of the table, winless in their last four and onto their third manager of the season in Ruben Selles - bizarrely, Guardiola will have faced all three come Saturday evening. The Saints knocked City out of the Carabao Cup in January but were comfortably beaten 4-0 at the Etihad in October.
