Man City injury, suspension news and return dates for Southampton clash: Grealish, Doku, De Bruyne, Walker

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Southampton on Saturday.

Premier League champions Manchester City welcome strugglers Southampton to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Citizens followed up their last-gasp 2-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend with a thumping 5-0 victory at home to Sparta Prague in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Pep Guardiola's men will now shift their focus back to the Premier League and can climb to the top of the table with victory over Southampton, before current leaders Liverpool face third-placed Arsenal on Sunday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Russell Martin's side.
