Confirmation of Erling Haaland's return to full training this week came as positive news and Manchester City fans have backed the Norwegian to be in from the off at Southampton this evening.
City travel to St Mary's looking to heap more pressure on Arsenal in the Premier League title race, who currently sit eight points clear at the top.
But Pep Guardiola's side can close that to five, with the Gunners facing Liverpool on Sunday. In Southampton, they face a side bottom of the table, winless in four and on their third manager of the season - bizarrely, Guardiola will have faced all three come this evening.
