Southampton (A) - Carabao Cup QF - Wed 11th Jan, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Live on Sky Sports for those in the UK. Kick off time 20:00 (GMT).

No replays or VAR available.

Tough to predict a starting XI for this one. I think Pep did say that Phillips would start though.

We play United at 12:30 on Saturday.

If we play the team that was rested v Chelsea (bar 1 winger):
-------------Ortega
Lewis---Stones--Ake---Cancelo
--------------Phillips
-----De Bruyne---Gundogan
Mahrez-----Haaland----Grealish

We could easily play the same team that played tonight.

It's a tough call with United being on Saturday.

Impossible to guess starting 11 with likes of de Bruyne and erling rested tonight and rags game only 2 1/2 days later

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Ortega; Lewis Akanji Ake Cancelo; Phillips Gundo Palmer; Grealish Haaland Alvarez

Win.

But I don’t think we can afford to underestimate them.

Win.

Yeah we can, they are shite.

Got tickets for this. A few of my colleagues are season ticket holders and the only reason they’re going on Wednesday is for the chance to see City possibly turn it on. I’d like to be more confident than I am.

We've got a big game on the following Saturday but then again so have they - Everton away!

Should be a comfortable win at Southampton by the sea.
(Oh yes it is.)

After today’s brilliance, it’s more a case of turn it on again.

Despite how shite Southampton are this season sitting bottom , you feel the team and their fans will be bang up for this. A quarter final game at home against a us.

I’m sure we’ll get the job done but they’ll put in a big effort I reckon.
