Southampton
Southampton boss Selles has confirmed that Che Adams and Mohammed Salisu – who both picked up injuries during the international break – remain sidelined along with Valentino Livramento and Juan Larios, the latter of whom is ruled out for the rest of the season.
Armel Bella-Kotchap missed the defeat at West Ham after sustaining a shoulder injury just seven minutes into the draw with Tottenham, and the centre-back is still a "question mark" for Selles ahead of Saturday.
A back four of Kyle Walker-Peters, Jan Bednarek, Duje Caleta-Car and Romain Perraud is set to remain intact, while Romeo Lavia and Carlos Alvarez will battle to start in centre-midfield alongside captain and top scorer James Ward-Prowse.
Theo Walcott could be handed a third successive start in attack, while Mara may find his spot in the first XI under threat from either Kamaldeen Sulemana or Paul Onuachu.
Southampton possible starting lineup:
Bazunu; Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Caleta-Car, Perraud; S. Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Lavia, Elyounoussi; Walcott, Sulemana
Manchester City
As for Man City, Erling Braut Haaland returned to team training earlier this week after missing the win over Liverpool with a groin injury, and the Premier League's top scorer could be in contention to start at St Mary's.
Guardiola will likely manage Haaland's minutes, though, with one eye on next week's Champions League tie, so Alvarez could continue in attack after impressing against Liverpool.
Defensive trio Kyle Walker, Aymeric Laporte and Rico Lewis will all be looking to force their way back into the starting lineup after watching on as unused substitutes last weekend, while Bernardo Silva could be recalled to start in either centre-midfield or on the right side of attack.
Phil Foden remains unavailable as he recovers from appendix surgery, while De Bruyne could continue in the middle of the pitch alongside Gundogan and Rodri, and the Belgian playmaker will be looking to register his 100th Premier League assist.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Ake; De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan; Bernardo, Alvarez, Grealish
Prediction: Southampton 0-3 Manchester City
