Get £40 in free bets with Ladbrokes ahead of Man City vs Southampton

Apr 24, 2026 - 08:00

Days after leapfrogging Arsenal in the Premier League, Manchester City can reach another cup final and put themselves on course for a domestic treble.

They face Championship promotion chasers Southampton, who sensationally knocked out the Gunners in the previous round.

Ahead of the huge FA Cup semi-final, you can score £40 in free bets by signing up to Ladbrokes and taking advantage of their welcome offer.

Pep Guardiola’s side went trophyless last season, but have already won the Carabao Cup this season and will be expecting to lift more silverware at Wembley in a few weeks’ time with managerless Chelsea or Leeds awaiting the winner of this one.

Southampton will be dreaming of not one but two more visits to the famous stadium, if they were to pull off another massive upset here and also reach the Championship playoff final. The Saints are fourth in the second tier and are unbeaten in 17 games – 20 in both league and cup.

Net even more value with Ladbrokes

Ladbrokes’ offer can be claimed by anyone who is creating an account with them for the first time. Doing so before this weekend’s FA Cup semi finals – by placing a £10 qualifying bet – will give you some extra bang for your buck ahead of what are some of the biggest games on the calendar.

Man City to reach another final

Man City have developed the knack of, like serial winners, producing their best football at this time of year. Erling Haaland scored just three times in February and March but then netted a hattrick against Liverpool in the quarter-final, the winner against Arsenal in that Premier League summit meeting, and the only goal as they took top spot at Burnley. The Norwegian is once again ‘getting hot’ at the right time.

Man City to win and over 2.5 goals
Erling Haaland to score two or more

This is the second time in three years that a Championship side has made it to the last four of the FA Cup. Southampton will be huge underdogs, but unlike Coventry in 2024, they have yo-yo’ed between the second tier and top flight and will be aware of just what they’re facing.
