Pep Guardiola told who to play in defence for Manchester City clash

Manchester City face Southampton for the second time in a week on Saturday and Pep Guardiola has been told who to play in defence. City fans believe John Stones should collaborate Fernandinho at centre-back when the Blues face Southampton. Manchester City have suffered due to their lack of options following the departure of Vincent Kompany and the injuries of Aymeric Laporte and John Stones. MEN Sports asked City fans on Twitter: "Presuming Fernandinho comes back into the side following his suspension against Southampton, who should partner him in defence?" The overwhelming winner with 58 per cent of 916 votes was Stones. Source-MEN
