Manuel Pellegrini faces a dilemma for his side’s trip to Southampton. City are far from certain of a top-four finish in the Premier League and failing that, the only way they can qualify for the Champions League next season is by winning the competition. That involves success against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu in midweek. Therefore, the Chilean is likely to rotate his squad and that might give Southampton extra incentive as they continue to chase a Europa League spot. Bradley Lobo
