Manchester City will look to put all on the line as they take on Brighton & Hove Albion in their next fixture away from home. The reigning Premier League champions have a marginal 2-point lead at the top of the standings. City desperately needs the 3 points against the Seagulls as they hope to consolidate their lead. Pep Guardiola‘s side could have a somewhat easy fixture, considering Roberto De Zerbi‘s Brighton has failed to secure a single win in their last four appearances.

Despite that, Liverpool and Arsenal fans will hope the side can derail Manchester City’s momentum, giving their teams some leeway in the title race. However, with the Cityzens now out of the Champions League, the team would be more than eager to maintain their grip on the league silverware. Considering all factors, Roberto De Zerbi’s men could be in for a rough night.

Brighton vs Manchester City: Team Updates

Roberto De Zerbi will be without the services of Solly March, Kaoru Mitoma, Jack Hinshelwood, James Milner, Adam Webster, and Tariq Lamptey, with six players out because of injuries. Meanwhile, Julio Enciso, Pervis Estupinian, Evan Ferguson, and Billy Gilmour will be assessed before the game, with the team management concerned about their physical fitness. If the four are ruled out before the game, this could leave the Seagulls stranded in the middle of a shark-infested ocean!

Pep Guardiola has his worries to handle, as Erling Haaland is unlikely to make the trip to American Express Stadium. The striker is out with a muscle injury and will miss the game. Phil Foden was also absent from the team’s training session this week and could be kept on the bench with the weekend fixture hovering over Manchester City. Guardiola could also provide rest to Bernardo Silva, who informed the media about his calf issues following the FA Cup tie against Chelsea.
