Attack
Cameron Archer will again lead the Southampton attack on the left flank following his back-to-back goals against Arsenal and Leicester City. Building on his good momentum, the 22-year-old striker will want to find the back of the net against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City as well.
The centre forward position has been one of the biggest key areas that Southampton needs to address as Adam Armstrong, Ben Brereton Diaz and Paul Onuachu are yet to score their first goal this season. Still, Onuachu has looked more promising inside the box with his heading ability, and thus, Martin would expect that the 30-year-old star scores his first goal for the Saints in this massively important away fixture.

Tyler Dibling has been one of Southampton’s most consistent and most reliable players in these first eight matches, with his world-class dribbling and playmaking on the right flank. Against Manchester City, the 18-year-old would want to register another goal contribution for the Saints after his first Southampton goal against Ipswich Town last month.
