Pep Guardiola admitted Manchester City was ¡°not prepared¡± after a stunning 2-0 loss against struggling Southampton in the League Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday.

Guardiola¡¯s side paid the price for a limp display and never recovered after first-half goals from Sekou Mara and Moussa Djenepo at St Mary¡¯s.

City sits second in the Premier League standings, while Southampton is languishing at the bottom of the table.
