Manchester City vs Southampton team news
Southampton got their first win since early January against Sheffield United on Saturday and will be hunting for more to ensure Premier League survival.
However, that is an unlikely outcome against the league’s runaway leaders Manchester City this evening.
Not only is Pep Guardiola’s City side very good, it is also at full-strength without any injury concerns and on the hunt for revenge after losing to rivals Manchester United last weekend.
With no new injury worries, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Fernandinho and Sergio Aguero are among those City players who could feature today as Guardiola rotates his squad.
Southampton will be missing key goalscorer Danny Ings.
Ings came off injured with a muscle problem against Sheffield United on Saturday.
Nathan Tella, one of Saints’ key men in that victory over the Blades, may not play today. Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl said earlier in the week that he needs to assess the workload of the youngster ahead of the City trip.
Manchester City vs. Southampton pre-match stats

Manchester City

- It was also the first time they had fallen behind or conceded more than once in a league match since a 2-0 loss at Spurs in November.
- Manchester City haven’t lost consecutive home league fixtures since February 2016 under Manuel Pellegrini.
- Pep Guardiola has never lost back-to-back home league games in his managerial career.
