Manchester City vs Southampton – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Manchester City aim to secure their place in a record fourth consecutive FA Cup final today when they take on Championship side Southampton.

Pep Guardiola’s side currently sit top of the Premier League table. They have won five straight matches across all competitions during an incredible spring run. City have won their last twenty-one FA Cup games against lower-league opposition. However, the manager must shuffle his pack due to significant fatigue within the squad.

City have scored eighty-four goals during their unbeaten run against non-Premier League sides. They look to add to their seven FA Cup trophies this season. That said, Guardiola has struggled with results at the national stadium previously. Six of his seven FA Cup defeats occurred at Wembley Stadium.

Manchester City team news

Rodri is the biggest injury concern after being forced off against Arsenal. It is unlikely Guardiola will risk him against Championship opposition tonight. Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol also remain on the treatment table for the Cityzens. Meanwhile, Abdukodir Khusanov and Marc Guéhi should continue their defensive partnership.

James Trafford is expected to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal this afternoon. Erling Haaland could be given a rest with Omar Marmoush potentially starting. Phil Foden will also hope for a rare start in the attacking unit. In his absence, Nico O’Reilly might shift into midfield to provide cover for the absent Rodri.
