Confirmed lines while Haaland begins

Manchester City welcomes Erling Haaland back to the field as they visit Southampton hoping to take another step towards the Champions League qualification.

Haaland has not played since March 30 suffered an ankle injury in FA Cup win over Bournemouth.

He was an unused replacement in Wolves’ victory last time, but after Pep Guardiola declared him a visit to throw Southampton, Haaland will watch how to rediscover his goalkeeper in St. Mary’s.

It would be a perfectly timed return to the list, such as City Face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final next weekend.

The question for the city surrounded whether Haaland would be involved from the start of playing the role of Cameo outside the bench.

Guardiola chose to play him from the beginning, giving Haaland the opportunity to add his 21 goal league goal, which is followed by Mohamed Salah (28) and Alexander Isak this season (23).
