What are the positions of Southampton and Manchester City?
Host Southampton ranks 17th in the ongoing league campaign while Manchester City only trails league leaders Liverpool and second-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
What is the form of Southampton in contrast to Manchester City's?
Southampton is still struggling to find its feet in the Premier League this season as the club's current status on the league standing suggests. The St. Mary's outfit has managed just three wins and six draws from 19 outings and is just a point above the relegation zone.
Having failed to record a single win in seven matches across all competitions, Hasenhuttl's side bagged successive wins over Arsenal and Huddersfield to alter its fortunes. However, the team approaches Sunday's daunting encounter with City on the back of a 2-1 defeat to West Ham.
Pep Guardiola's men, on the other hand, come into the game on the back of successive defeats to Crystal Palace and Leicester City. The Citizens saw their unbeaten streak in the Premier League ended by Chelsea earlier this month and have since managed three wins across all competitions.
In its last 10 games, Manchester City has managed six wins, a draw and three loses.
Who is injured and/or suspended for Southampton vs Manchester City?
Full-back pair Cédric Soares and Ryan Bertrand are ruled out of Sunday's fixture with respective injuries. For Manchester City, Claudio Bravo, Benjamin Mendy, Vincent Kompany and Fernandinho all remain on the treatment table.
Striker Gabriel Jesus remains a doubt after picking up a knock while Fabian Delph is suspended for this match.
