Southampton
- Only Samir Nasri is injured for Manchester City at present, with Pellegrini unlikely to make many changes.
- This looks likely to be the last game in a City shirt for Yaya Toure, while Frank Lampard will also bid farewell following a short term deal at the club and James Milner's future is unclear, with his contract expiring this summer.
- Wilfried Bony will hope for a rare place in the side having scored from the bench last time out, while Vincent Kompany is also fit to start following injury.
- Ronald Koeman has no fresh injury concerns after their 6-1 thumping of Aston Villa and will likely name an unchanged side.
- Dusan Tadic may be back in contention but won't displace either Sadio Mané or Shane Long after their exploits last time out.
- Paulo Gazzaniga is ahead of Kelvin Davis in the pecking order at the moment in the continued absence of Fraser Forster.
Pellegrini should have left Lampard on until the end
It is tempting to bet on Southampton, but I just don't see them overcoming that kind of quality Manchaster City has. Hope this game is going to be entertaining
I'd like to see the real football team with the real manager of the season win. Man $ity 2 - 3 Saints. A goal each for Long, Pelle and Mane.
1-0 Man City Aguero
