Nasri (leg) is available for Sunday's match against Southampton.

Analysis:

Since returning from a long-term absence from the squad, Nasri's fitness has ebbed and flowed, but the France international should be fit to go against Southampton, having trained all week. He has a goal and two assists in the three matches since returning from his long-term hamstring injury, but has missed the past two matches. With no Yaya Toure or David Silva, Nasri will need to quickly get back up to speed against a strong defensive squad in Southampton.
