Manuel Akanji and Sergio Gomez could be rewarded for their impressive performances of late by starting Manchester City's Premier League fixture against Southampton on Saturday.
City are looking to continue their fine form since returning from the international break, after a 5-0 thrashing of FC Copenhagen in the Champions League followed a 6-3 schooling of cross-city rivals Manchester United in the derby last weekend.
All eyes will of course be on Erling Haaland, who has come back from the international break even more clinical in front of goal than he was before. The 22-year-old striker scored a hat-trick against United - becoming the first play ever to score hat-tricks in three consecutive Premier League home games - and was at the double against Copenhagen before being withdrawn at half-time.
