City is third in the standings with three games left, three points behind second-placed Arsenal and a point above Newcastle.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is in contention to start against Southampton this weekend, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday after the Norwegian striker recovered from an ankle injury that kept him sidelined for nearly six weeks.
With 21 goals in the Premier League, Haaland was a contender for the top scorer’s Golden Boot award but has slipped to third behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (28) and Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak (23).

“(Haaland) is ready, he’s fit. If he starts, we decide (on Saturday),” Guardiola told reporters.
“Still Rodri is not available. Oscar (Bobb) and Nathan (Ake) started training with us but still not available,” he added.
Southampton sits bottom of the table with 11 points and just two wins all season.
