CHASING ARSE

DIFFICULT OPPONENT TO STOP: City's Kevin De Bruyne is always a handful

- 

MANCHESTER City head to St Mary's Stadium tomorrow for a Premier League clash against already-relegated Southampton, with a win offering Pep Guardiola's span the chance to draw level with second-placed Arsenal.

Sitting third on the standings, City trail Arsenal by three points, although the Gunners have a better goal difference.

With just three fixtures remaining in the campaign, the match presents a key opportunity for City to put pressure on Arsenal, who travel to champions Liverpool on Sunday, and finish the season as runners-up after a swak campaign.
