New Premier League leaders Manchester City will turn their attention to an FA Cup semi-final clash with Southampton at Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening.
Pep Guardiola’s side claimed their fifth successive victory in all competitions when they beat Burnley 1-0 at Turf Moor on Monday to leapfrog title rivals Arsenal to the top-flight summit on goal difference.
