Manchester City host Southampton in the Premier League on Wednesday evening, three days on from going down 2-0 to local rivals Manchester United.
That ended the leaders' 28-game unbeaten run in all competitions, but they hold an 11-point lead at the top ahead of this clash with bottom-half Southampton, who beat Sheffield United 2-0 last time out.
