Manchester City’s quest for a top four finish sees them visit the south coast to take on Claude Puel’s men in Saturday’s late fixture.
City skipper Vincent Kompany could return to the starting line-up after missing the Hull victory, while Guardiola also faces a choice between Willy Caballero and Claudio Bravo inbetween the sticks.
Puel will make a late decision on striker Manolo Gabbiadini who is on the mend after a groin injury.
Stick with us for all of the action from St Mary’s.
Liverpool have made Saints captain Virgil van Dijk their prime transfer target for the summer, according to national newspaper reports.
Van Dijk, who has been rated around the £50million price tag, has been out of the side since January due to an injury he picked up against current Premier League champions Leicester at St Mary’s.
The dutch centre-back has reportedly attracted interest from a number of top English clubs.
As many Saints fans would know, van Dijk wouldn’t be the first Saints star to depart for Anfield; if he were to go in the summer, he would join Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Nathaniel Clyne and Sadio Mane in making the move from the south coast to Liverpool in recent years.
The midfielder dropped in on the session at Poseidon Boxing Club and quickly got stuck into the action, joining in with a variety of different drills and exercises at the free, open access session.
Along with open access sessions, Saints Foundation also offer opportunities to play regular football through their Hampshire Pan Disability Football League, which is the first official league of its kind in Hampshire, bringing more than 250 people together once a month to play in a structured and competitive environment.
Should players wish to progress further, they also provide an Advanced Coaching Centre for those with Cerebral Palsy, visual or hearing impairments, which can create opportunities for progression onto the National pathway.
Saints Foundation’s disability programmes are funded by the Premier League and BT Disability Fund, helping them to create more opportunities for those with both physical and cognitive needs across Hampshire.
