City have won their last three league matches, most recently securing a 1-0 victory away to Burnley at Turf Moor. Pep Guardiola's men racked up nine shots on goal and boasted 65% possession, with an early first half strike from Erling Haaland proving the difference.

In their last outing, City secured a 2-1 win over Southampton in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. They will now face Chelsea in the final on 16 May.
