Man City XI vs Southampton: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Premier League match

Pep Guardiola will likely ring the changes as his Manchester City team face Southampton for the second time in five days.

Only Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus survived from the XI which beat Aston Villa, in the champions' previous Premier League game, to face Saints in the Carabao Cup.

The Brazilian should drop out of the starting XI, therefore, with Raheem Sterling coming back in on the left-hand side of a front three next to Sergio Aguero. Bernardo may move forward to take Riyad Mahrez's place on the opposite flank after a midfield role on Tuesday.

Kevin De Bruyne should come in, replacing youngster Tommy Doyle, and be joined by David Silva in midfield.

Kyle Walker will be hoping to keep his place at right-back, but Joao Cancelo and Benjamin Mendy are ready to come in.

Fernandinho is suspended after being sent off against Aston Villa, meaning Nicolas Otamendi will also be looking to stay in Guardiola's thoughts after scoring.
