Southampton vs Man City lineups
Saints interim head coach Ruben Selles has confirmed little change on the injury front for the hosts with Valentino Livramento, Che Adams, Mohamed Salisu and Armel Bella-Kotchap all still sidelined.
Southampton starting XI (4-5-1): Bazunu (GK) — Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Caleta-Car, Perraud — Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Alcaraz, Lavia, Elyounoussi — Sulemana
Southampton subs: McCarthy (GK), Maitland-Niles, Walcott, Sara, Onuachu, Lyanco, Aribo, Orsic, Diallo
Guardiola's only injury call comes over top scorer Erling Haaland after he missed the 4-1 win over Liverpool last weekend with a groin injury but the Spaniard has confirmed he will be in the squad.
However, with Bayern Munich on the horizon in midweek Champions League action, Guardiola is unlikely to risk him from the start, with Phil Foden still out.

Man City subs: Ortega (GK), Akanji, Phillips, Laporte, Gomez, Palmer, Perrone, Lewis, Haaland
