Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Southampton's Premier League clash with Manchester City. Can Pep Guardiola's men edge away from bitter rivals United against the League Cup finalists? We are about to find out...

Southampton create a fantastic chances as Redmond plays in Gabbiadini and his cutback finds Tadic 12 yards out but the Serbian skies his shot.

Sane gets around Stephens before Hojbjerg intercepts his low cross.

De Bruyne's deep corner falls to Aguero on the edge of the box who volleys wide.

The visitors have dominated so far, with Southampton struggling to keep possession.

Another chance for Aguero as he's found ten yards out but this time drags the shot wide. Ominous signs for Southampton though.

A great chance for City as Clichy's cross finds an unmarked Aguero at the far post but, on the stretch, he fails to make a clean connection with the ball.

We're off.

The two sides are out on the pitch and kick-off is not far away. Man City all in blue, Southampton in red and white shirts, black shorts and striped socks.

Here's hoping for a goal half as good as this today.

Sergio Aguero has 10 goals in his last 10 Man City appearances.

In fact the Saints have won two of the last four meetings between these two at St Mary's, with one a draw and City winning the other.

Southampton enjoyed a 4-2 triumph in this fixture last season thanks to Sadio Mane's hat-trick.

Meanwhile, attempting to keep him out are a pair who have been less-than-frequent starters for City this season - Claudio Bravo, the much-maligned keeper brought in by Pep Guardiola, and Vincent Kompany, the club captain and increasingly injury-prone centre-back...

Quite a few talking points with those teams (for once!)

Manolo Gabbiadini is back for the Saints, the man who so nearly led them to League Cup glory, with his two goals at Wembley. Can he test the City defence, which has, let's just say, been pretty porous at times this season?

And here is City...

And without further ado, let's give you the team news. First up, the home side...
