Long to miss Manchester City trip

Show/hide article…

Long was replaced early in the second-half on Thursday night after pulling up with a hamstring problem in a race for the ball with Internazionale defender Miranda.

In addition to that, late assessments will also be made on this fitness of the full-backs, who all missed the trip to San Siro.

Puel said: “Shane Long will be out with his hamstring injury and perhaps also Ryan Bertrand and Matt Targett but we will see this today as well as Cedric.

“It’s difficult and it’s a problem with all these games for McQueen, who is a young player, and Martina to play all the time.

“You can see now the first injury and you can understand why we change all the team all the time to preserve the bodies of the players and keep a good physical level.

“Every time we want fresh players and this is very important for the future.”

Rodriguez hungry for more games

Show/hide article…

The 27-year-old played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 defeat, with his family watching on from the stands.

But despite his pride at playing into one of the great sporting arenas, his attentions quickly turned to putting things right against Manchester City.

He said: “We had some great chances we should have scored and they’ve had a couple of shots, and we’ve conceded one but our main focus is on Sunday.

“We came here to win the game and we had the chance to do so but we can’t dwell on that because we go to Manchester City and it’s a game we’re looking forward to.

Rodriguez who was making his first start since the Premier League visit to Arsenal, added: “I felt great and I just want more and more of it.

“I’m sure the goals will come I just need to keep persisting to be on the field.

“It’s one of them things where it happens at times and I’m working extra hard to keep fit.

“I’m never happy after a game where I’ve not scored but I just need to concentrate on each game as it comes.

“I need regular games and hopefully I can help the team to accomplish what we what we want to achieve.”

Manchester City v Southampton

Show/hide article…

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola must decide whether to recall Sergio Aguero, who has featured as a substitute in the last two games.

Bacary Sagna and Pablo Zabaleta are injured, while City will monitor Vincent Kompany, who was left out in midweek because he was not fully fit.

Shane Long misses out for Southampton after suffering a hamstring injury against Inter Milan on Thursday.

Matt Targett, Ryan Bertrand and Cedric Soares are doubts and will be assessed.

Club-record signing Sofiane Boufal came off the bench in midweek for his debut and could make his first Premier League appearance, although a lack of match fitness means he is unlikely to start.

Steve Bower: "Both clubs are back in action after defeat in glamour European away games this week, but it was Manchester City who returned with more unanswered questions.

"Pep Guardiola won’t anticipate many spells of four games without a win this season. One fact we do know is that the City manager won’t change his approach as he continues to learn about his new players and stamp his mark on the team.

"That is what Claude Puel is beginning to do with Southampton after a slow start, and luck wasn’t on his side in the San Siro in midweek.

“He’ll be fully aware that a sterner test lies in wait at the Etihad Stadium, where the Saints have lost on their last six visits. They have kept clean sheets in their last two away games, but it would raise some eyebrows if they continue that particular record.”

Man City manager Pep Guardiola on leaving out Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany against Barcelona: "They are the future for Manchester City. Vincent Kompany was not perfectly fit and that is why we took the decision.

"It was a tactical decision [with Aguero]. I wanted one more midfielder, I tried to keep the ball in the Camp Nou and when you have the ball, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez don’t.

"I spoke with Sergio and he was understanding, I thought in the last 30 minutes, with the Barcelona centre-halves tiring, he could help a lot from the bench.

“When Sergio decides to leave it will be his decision. Next time before you [the media] decide he is not in my plans you can call me.”

Southampton manager Claude Puel: "I managed against Pep early in his career and he has not changed his philosophy.

"It’s difficult to defend against them, because they like to have good possession.

“But for us it is important to play our football, and I think we can have a good game.”

Southampton look very solid at the back and do not seem to make too many mistakes. At the other end, Charlie Austin is going through the sort of spell where he cannot miss.

City’s defeat by Barcelona means they have now gone four games without a win in all competitions, but they were still top of the league going into the weekend.

Some people might be painting it as a crisis but it really isn’t.

Show/hide article…

CHELSEA’S home of Stamford Bridge is a fortress, but Manchester United have an incredible record there.

The Red Devils, now managed by Jose Mourinho, travel to west London this weekend for a crunch showdown, but history shows how the club have a better points per game ratio there than any other team to play 10 or more top flight games.

In 74 attempts, United have won 30 times and drawn 20, averaging 1.49 points per game. Arsenal and Tottenham also feature in the top 10 away teams at Stamford Bridge - but some shock names are ranked in second and third behind United.
