Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has expressed his confidence at making his first Premier League start of the season against Southampton on Sunday.
The 30-year-old has endured an injury-ravaged spell at the Etihad in recent months and has only just returned from a groin problem incurred in September's EFL Cup tie at Swansea City.
Kompany, who has been named in Pep Guardiola's starting XI against the Saints, told Sky Sports News: "I will use my experience to get through the day, I am excited.
"I have had no pre-season but you have to start somewhere and I am confident. We have been playing well, we are just conceding with every mistake we make at the moment."
Man City are seeking to avoid a fifth game without a win in their match against the south coast side.
