Fixture: Southampton vs Manchester City
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 14:15 (UK time)

Manchester City have officially confirmed their side and substitutes to go up against Ralph Hasenhuttl's Southampton side at St Mary's this afternoon.

Premier League leaders Liverpool have piled the pressure on to the Citizens and went ten points clear of Pep Guardiola's team by thumping Arsenal on Saturday.




Guardiola will look for a quick response and to cut the gap ahead of entertaining Liverpool on Thursday.

He must make do without Fabian Delph, who is suspended.

Ederson lines up in goal, while in defence Guardiola plumps for Vincent Kompany and Aymeric Laporte as the central pairing. Fernandinho is back in midfield, while Bernardo Silva and David Silva play. Sergio Aguero is up front.

If Guardiola needs to make changes then he has options on the bench, including Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden.
