Man City XI vs Southampton: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Premier League match | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola still has key absences to contend with

Manchester City are once again without Kevin De Bruyne when they host Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Belgian has been out with a groin injury since he was forced off against Inter Milan last month, and he has been left out of City’s squad for both matches since the international break.

Speaking on Friday, Guardiola confirmed the playmaker will not feature and offered no update in regards to a potential return date. Kyle Walker has also been ruled out.

Savinho should start on the right wing, with Phil Foden potentially coming in for only his second Premier League start of the season.

Kyle Walker is also a doubt, having missed the Champions League win on Wednesday night, though Rico Lewis has been keeping him out of the side even when fit.

Predicted Man City XI: Ederson; Lewis, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Kovacic; Savinho, Silva, Gundogan, Foden; Haaland

Injured: Grealish, Doku, Rodri, Bobb, De Bruyne, Walker

Time and date: 3pm BST on Saturday, October 26, 2024

Venue: Etihad Stadium
