Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says his side will have to "fight until the end" in the race to secure a Champions League spot after slipping up on Saturday. City could have taken a huge step towards sealing a top-five spot, but drew 0-0 at rock bottom Southampton.

Manchester City were held by Southampton at St Mary's Stadium on Saturday in a massive shock as Pep Guardiola's side dropped key points in their quest to qualify for the Champions League.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is in contention to start against Southampton this weekend, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday after the Norwegian striker recovered from an ankle injury that kept him sidelined for nearly six weeks.
