In fact, Kalvin Phillips gets the team’s first-ever start. The team is rotated by Pep Guardiola, who gives Cole Palmer and Julian Alvarez opportunities right away as well as reserve goalkeeper Ortega Moreno a rare start. It appears that Kyle Walker might play at centre defence while Phil Foden could get some playing time in central midfield, which would be an intriguing idea. With both Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland present, the bench is formidable.

Sam Edozie is on the bench, and Gavin Bazunu and Romeo Lavia, two former Man City academy standouts, are starting for Southampton. He is joined by recently acquired Mislav Orsic and former City goalie Willy Caballero. Along with Joe Aribo, Che Adams is also listed as a substitute. The two have often started most of the Saints’ games so far this season.

Saints played with a vigour and vitality that belied their position as the bottom team in the Premier League, and Sekou Mara’s excellent finish after City carelessly wasted possession helped Saints advance. When Pep Guardiola’s lacklustre team was being relentlessly pressed by Jones’ team from all angles of the field, Moussa Djenepo scored a beautiful second goal with a 30-yard lob that fooled goalie Stefan Ortega.

The expected siege on the Southampton goal never happened as City failed to even register a shot on target in the game. Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, who both started on the bench, played the entirety of City’s final possession.

Because Southampton finished the game so easily, the home supporters could even afford to break out the “ole’s” in the last minutes. This was the first time a Guardiola team has lost a domestic quarterfinal match after winning the previous 15, including the last nine matches since acquiring the City manager post.
