Erling Haaland had been thought to be involved here after the Norwegian star missed the Chelsea game on the weekend with a muscle issue, but he has been ruled out once again by Pep Guardiola. Ruben Dias and Jeremy Doku could, however, come in to start for City after they were rested in the recent FA Cup semifinal.
Man City predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Dias, Akanji, Ake — Rodri, Kovacic — Foden, De Bruyne, Doku — Alvarez.
Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi is still missing a host of key players for the final weeks of the campaign. There are a few bright spots, as central defender Adam Webster will be available after missing three games, while young star Julio Enciso will soon be back from his ACL tear and will be brought into the fold slowly.
Yet the likes of Evan Ferguson, Tariq Lamptey and Karou Mitoma remain absent, while Solly March, Pervis Estupinan, and Billy Gilmour are also sidelined for some time more as the injury list looks bleak.
Brighton predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Verbruggen (GK) — Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Igor — Baleba, Gross — Adingra, Moder, Bounanotte — Welbeck.
Man City know they have to keep pushing hard to hold off Liverpool and Arsenal in the title race with Guardiola’s defending champions still having their fate in their own hands at this stage.
City have not lost a Premier League game in 2024, and with Brighton still disrupted by injuries, the visitors should emerge with a key win at the AMEX Stadium.
Prediction: Man City 2-1 Brighton
