Who’s playing: Manchester City have a chance of regaining their lead at the top of the Premier League table when they welcome eighth-placed Southampton at the Etihad on Sunday. The Citizens set their feet off the pedal when they drew with Everton at the same venue last weekend in the league before losing to Barcelona in midweek in the Champions League. Now Pep Guardiola’s men will be determined to cement their place at the top of the table but this will not be easy considering the Saints’ recent good run in the league.

Shane Long, Nathan Redmond, Florin Gardos, Jeremy Pied and Cedric Soares are all doubtful for this match due injuries. As a result, youngster Sam McQueen could start at the left-back.

The hosts are desperate to return to winning ways having failed to win their last four competitive games. As a result, the St. Mary’s outfit could suffer the consequences on Sunday at the Etihad. The visitors, however, have not lost their last four league games and this could inspire them to collect at least a point away from home. And with Charlie Austin firing from all cylinders this season, this could end in a stalemate.
