Southampton will be looking for their first win in five games when they take on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening.
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side hope to pull off a major cup upset at the Etihad after Friday night’s humiliating defeat at home to Leicester City.
Both teams could see plenty of rotation made to the respective starting line-ups for this evening’s clash under the lights in Manchester, with the two gearing up to face each other again on Saturday afternoon.
City come into this game off the back of a 3-0 home victory over Aston Villa and will look to secure their place in the next round and put out-of-form Saints to the sword.
But with Southampton looking for a response, they could prove to be no pushover for Pep Guardiola’s men, as they seek to record their first win away at City since April 2004.
I take a look at the key battles ahead of the first trip to Manchester City…
