Match preview

Manchester City head into this semi-final in outstanding form, having put together a five-game winning streak across all competitions. Following their Champions League exit against Real Madrid, Guardiola’s side responded strongly — lifting the League Cup, crushing Liverpool 4-0 in the FA Cup, and recently beating Arsenal convincingly in the league to edge closer to the title.

Their attack has been relentless, already producing 19 goals in this FA Cup run. With Erling Haaland leading the line and a flexible attacking system behind him, City have the ability to dictate games regardless of the opposition.

Southampton, meanwhile, are enjoying a remarkable run of their own. They are unbeaten since January and carry a 20-match streak without defeat. In this competition, they’ve already eliminated Fulham (1-0) and Arsenal (2-1), showing they can compete with top sides.

Still, the Saints face a tough balancing act between their cup ambitions and their push for promotion in the Championship. Despite that, they’ve shown maturity and resilience against stronger opponents and tend to rise to big occasions.

Probable lineups

Manchester City: Trafford, O’Riley, Guehi, Khusanov, Lewis, Gonzalez, Silva, Doku, Cherki, Semenyo, Haaland

Southampton: Peretz, Bree, Wood, Harwood-Bellis, Manning, Jander, Bragg, Fellows, Azaz, Shinza, Stewart
