SouthamptonSouthampton boss Claude Puel speaking to Sky Sports on the inclusion of left-back Sam McQueen: "It's important for Southampton to play young players. Sam can play a very good game.
"Let's see if he has recovered from the match against Inter Milan because young players find it hard to play matches in a small amount of time. I hope today we can recover from the defeat at Inter. City played on Tuesday - so this will be difficult. It's a good challenge to make something this afternoon."

Manchester CityCity manager Pep Guardiola speaking to Sky Sports on selecting Vincent Kompany for his first league start: "He's our captain and had a long-term injury. Hopefully he can play as many minutes as possible."
On selecting striker Sergio Aguero: "I think he was the best for the moment. When you lose the decisions are bad, when you win the decisions are good."
On not winning any of their past four matches: "When you win 10 games in a row people say how good you are. When you don't win you have to accept the opposite side. The team played really good against Everton and Barcelona when it was 11 v 11. I'm impressed how Southampton played at Arsenal and Inter Milan.
"Today we are not going to win the Premier League or lose the Premier League."

Phil Bardsley
Stoke defender on MOTD2 ExtraOn the subject of sweeper-keepers (Claudio Bravo):
If you're a footballer you should be able to pass a ball 15 yards. The English game is 100mph. The calmness Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino brought in, comes from the goalkeeper.

Football FocusFormer Wales striker Dean Saunders: "I was surprised Aguero didn't start against Barcelona but he wouldn't have stopped Messi's goals. I think he is the best player in the league."
Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson: "Why didn't he come on? His goal record is sensational. Maybe play in goal instead of Bravo because Aguero is really good with his feet."
Naughty from Lawro...
