One player not involved for Manchester City today is Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The Ukraine defender, who has played seven times for the champions this season, is facing up to six weeks on the sidelines after having knee surgery.

It is another blow for City, who are already without centre-back Aymeric Laporte with a long-term injury.

In a further blow, midfielder Rodri, who had moved to defence, is also out after suffering a hamstring injury in midweek.

Who will be lining up in City's defence? Full team news coming up in around five minutes.

It's fair to say it is extremely wet at the Etihad, where I think everyone is in for a very soggy afternoon.

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith and Jack Grealish (with his hood up to protect those trademark locks) have just been out to inspect the pitch which, like the rest of Manchester, has certainly seen enough water in the past 24 hours.

It could be raining goals later too - even after Leicester's record-equalling haul last night, City are still the highest scorers in the Premier League in 2019-20 with 29, while there have been an average of more than three goals (at either end) in every Villa game this season.

Southampton fans waking up wondering if last night's record-equalling 9-0 defeat at home to Leicester was all just a bad dream, spare a thought for 13-year-old fan Tom Sherburn.

He went to his first ever match at St Mary's full of excitement and optimism - the tickets proudly presented to him as a present last Christmas.

All that build-up, all that waiting and then the crushing realisation of what it truly means to be a football fan - leaving the ground in tears, 10 minutes before full-time.

There's no sugar-coating it Tom, supporting a football team can be tough, but it gets better...we promise.

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl says he takes full responsibility for his side's record-equalling Premier League defeat by Leicester, describing the result as "horrible".

The Austrian apologised to home fans after the 9-0 thrashing which sees Saints drop into the relegation zone.

"The performance was a disaster and I have to apologise and take 100% responsibility," he said.

"I've never seen a team act like this, there was no fight for anything."

Yes, it really did happen.

Leicester City equalled the 24-year-old record for the biggest ever Premier League victory as 10-man Southampton were dismantled on Friday night.

The victory sees Brendan Rodgers' side climb into second place, leapfrogging Manchester City and moving five points behind leaders Liverpool.

The result matches Manchester United's 9-0 win against Ipswich in 1995.

Both Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Perez scored hat-tricks while the other goals came from Ben Chilwell, Youri Tielemans and James Maddison.
