THE LOWDOWN
MAN CITY
- Man City could kick off against Brighton having been knocked off the top of the Premier League table depending on Liverpool’s result against Man Utd the night before, which underlines the importance of this fixture from the hosts’ point of view.
- Centre-back Ruben Dias was named on the bench in City’s FA Cup semi-final defeat to the Reds after having recovered from injury and could be named in a much-changed starting line-up with players such as Rodri, Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne all potentially featuring.
BRIGHTON
- Brighton are coming into this one off the back of having conquered North London in the space of seven days, first beating Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, before overcoming Tottenham.
- Shane Duffy and Jakob Moder will miss out through injury, whilst Graham Potter will wait to make a call on Stephen Alzate who has been suffering from a virus.
THE TEAM NEWS
MAN CITY
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Sterling, Grealish
UNAVAILABLE:
QUESTIONABLE: Jesus (Injured), Palmer (Injured), Walker (Injured)
BRIGHTON
PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Sanchez; Veltman, Dunk, Cucurella; Lamptey, Gross, Bissouma, Lallana, Trossard; Mwepu, Mac Allister
UNAVAILABLE: Duffy (Injured), Moder (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Alzate (Illness)
THE PREDICTION
As impressive as Brighton have been across their last two away victories, gaining anything against Man City at Etihad Stadium will surely prove a bridge too far for them. Pep Guardiola’s side represent a massive step up in class and the motivation to win as massive for them in what is turning out to be a classic Premier League title race. Back the hosts to emerge triumphant, although it is not expected to be by a large margin as you sometimes would expect from this City side.
Tip: MAN CITY TO WIN
