Man City have endured a challenging 2024-25 campaign, but the former champions could yet end the Premier League season as high as second in the standings.

Pep Guardiola’s side have won their last four matches across all competitions, and they will be warming up for an FA Cup showdown against Crystal Palace next weekend.

Southampton’s relegation to the second tier has already been confirmed, and they remain on course to break the unwanted record for the lowest haul of points in Premier League history.
