Rodri - Out with injury Rodri missed Saturday's draw against Southampton with an undisclosed injury, according to manager Pep Guardiola.
Oleksandr Zinchenko - Out with injury Zinchenko missed Saturday's draw against Southampton with an undisclosed injury, according to manager Pep Guardiola.
Impact It is unclear how long Zinchenko will be out for and it likely means more playing time for Joao Cancelo, who has played every minute for Man City in the early season. Zinchenko started the midweek win against Leipzig and will be needed to allow City to rotate at full-back.

Joao Cancelo - Wins three tackles Cancelo won three of four tackles during a 0-0 draw Saturday versus Southampton.
Impact Cancelo attempted and won more tackles than any of his teammates did. Across six league-based appearances since July, he possesses a 78.6 tackle win rate. The statistical category will remain one of many ways Cancelo provides great fantasy value.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ederson - Maintains another clean sheet Ederson maintained the clean sheet during a 0-0 draw Saturday versus Southampton.
Impact Unsurprisingly, Ederson played another English Premier League team that did not do much against Manchester City's defense. He recorded a clean sheet during each of his last four EPL appearances. Ederson averaged only one save across that four-game span.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ruben Dias - Records all-around stat line Dias recorded six clearances, four blocks and three interceptions during a 0-0 draw Saturday versus Southampton.
Impact Dias was challenged multiple times by a surprisingly active yet insufficient team. The center-back recorded more clearances, blocks and interceptions than those he logged across his previous three Premier League appearances (all of which were clean sheets for Manchester City).

John Stones - Unlikely to face Southampton Stones is "injured" after picking up an issue over the international break, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "Injured. Muscular. John didn't play with us and then played 90 mins...
Impact It sounds like Stones will miss Saturday's match and possibly more with a muscular injury. It's an unfortunate situation for him, as he's yet to appear for City because of injury and a lack of fitness, and with Aymeric Laporte possibly out, Nathan Ake could start again Saturday.

Aymeric Laporte - Out against Southampton Laporte will miss Saturday's match against Southampton, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "He [Laporte] wanted to play against Leicester, made an extraordinary game but after his...
Impact Laporte picked up a minor groin issue over the international break, so there's a chance his recent absence is related to that. Muscle injuries aren't anything to play through, so it's possible he could miss more than Saturday's match against Southampton, pointing to more starts for Nathan Ake.

Raheem Sterling - Logs 18 minutes in win Sterling played for 18 minutes of Wednesday's 6-3 win over RB Leipzig.
Impact Sterling has found his role massively diminished following the arrival of Jack Grealish as he's been a substitute addition in four straight games. It remains to be seen how Sterling can reverse his limited role, though the amount of rotation that takes place under manager Pep Guardiola is sure to help him out.

Ederson - Concedes three in win Ederson conceded three goals and made no saves during Wednesday's 6-3 win over RB Leipzig.
Impact Ederson was beaten all three times by Christopher Nkunku but still secured the win thanks to some impressive displays by his teammates. With three clean sheets kept in his last three league matches, Ederson will still take solid form into the next match against Southampton, which have scored just four goals in four games.

Rodri - Makes five interceptions in win Rodri made five interceptions and logged two tackles (one won) during Wednesday's 6-3 win over RB Leipzig.
Impact Rodri was replaced by Fernandinho after 59 minutes but still put in a good shift. As his stats are heavily reliant on his defensive work rate, Rodri won't always be the most valuable target, though he does have three clean sheets and one goal in his last four starts. Up next is a visit from Southampton, which have scored four times in four matches this season.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin De Bruyne - Creates three chances in return De Bruyne created three chances from four crosses during 71 minutes of Wednesday's 6-3 win over RB Leipzig.
Impact De Bruyne made his first start of the season after an ankle issue held him out since the opening round against Tottenham, though he did make the bench in Saturday's win over Leicester City. Now that he's fit enough to start, De Bruyne is high likely to take on a bigger role in the starting lineup, and this will mean reduced chances to play for Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva, though all have played well and will get their chances to play.
