Sports Mole looks at how Manchester City could line up in Sunday's FA Cup clash with Southampton.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has a strong squad available for Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final with Southampton at St Mary's.

Ruben Dias (thigh) and Benjamin Mendy (club suspension) remain out, but Cole Palmer has a chance of returning from a foot injury to make the squad this weekend.

Guardiola will send an experienced XI onto the field against the Saints, but there will certainly be changes to the side that started the goalless draw with Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Monday night.

Indeed, Raheem Sterling, Fernandinho, Ilkay Gundogan, Nathan Ake, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko could all come in for starts, while Zack Steffen is likely to feature between the sticks.

Man City are not back in action after this match until April 2, so Guardiola will have no serious issues when it comes to keeping his squad fresh, with Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez and Kyle Walker all likely to start.

Walker has been left out of the latest England squad, while De Bruyne is not in the Belgium squad, so both players will be able to rest over the international break.

Gabriel Jesus has struggled for action in recent weeks, but the Brazilian played the full 90 minutes against Peterborough United in the fifth round of the FA Cup and should lead the attack here.

Manchester City possible starting lineup: Steffen; Walker, Stones, Ake, Zinchenko; De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Gundogan; Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez
