MANCHESTER CITY accidentally named an injured star on their bench to play Southampton – before quickly changing it.
The Premier League champions host the Saints sitting a point behind leaders Liverpool.

And they went into the match with four first-team players missing; Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish.
But there was actually a fifth with Oscar Bobb also sidelined – but the matchday teamsheet said otherwise.
Bobb – out with a horror broken leg injury – was mistakenly named instead of James McAtee.
But City soon amended the mistake with a re-print of the team sheet.
Bobb was a standout in City’s pre-season tour but a freak training injury before the season started has left him sidelined until the New Year.
City are still without playmaker Kevin de Bruyne too after he came off in the Champions League against Inter Milan in September.
He has missed the last seven games with manager Pep Guardiola unsure when he will return.
Guardiola said when probed: “I don’t know. Of course, I prefer to have all of the squad with the amount of games but it is what it is.

“Hopefully he comes back soon but I don’t know yet. I would like to tell you but I don’t know.”
City come into the game having won their last four, running riot midweek with a 5-0 hammering against Sparta Praha.
