THE LOWDOWN
MAN CITY
- Man City’s first Premier League defeat of the season saw them lose out to Liverpool last weekend but they were not in action midweek and Pep Guardiola has had plenty of time to get that loss out of his players’ system.
- There was positive news on the injury front with John Stones returning to training and Kalvin Phillips making big improvements in his recovery from a shoulder injury, but Kyle Walker remains out.
BRIGHTON
- Roberto De Zerbi is still searching for his first win in charge of Brighton but he must be wondering how his side didn’t come away with more than a point against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday after dominating the match.
- De Zerbi has stated that there is some fatigue in the camp although he did not elaborate further but the likes of Pervis Estupinan could be in-line for a recall after his midweek benching.
THE TEAM NEWS
MAN CITY
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Akanji, Gomez; Rodri, Bernardo; Mahrez, De Bruyne, Foden; Haaland
UNAVAILABLE: Walker (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Stones (Fitness), Phillips (Injured)
BRIGHTON
PREDICTED XI (3-4-2-1): Sanchez; Veltman, Dunk, Webster; March, Mac Allister, Caicedo, Estupinan; Gross, Trossard; Welbeck
UNAVAILABLE: Mitoma (Injured), Moder (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Colwill (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Man City have a habit of responding emphatically to defeats, and that spells bad news for Brighton here, who are still looking for their first victory under the management of Roberto De Zerbi. It is clearly taking some time for the Italian manager’s methods to take effect and this could be a long afternoon for them at the Etihad, with the hosts looking to take out their frustrations on the south coast outfit. Pep Guardiola’s men are clear favourites here and can be fancied to win a match containing over 2.5 goals.
TIP: MAN CITY TO WIN & OVER 2.5 GOALS
