Manchester City will be looking to bounce back from a recent downturn in form as they travel to Brighton on Saturday. The reigning champions have suffered defeats to Bournemouth, Tottenham, and Sporting Lisbon in their last three outings, a run that has seen them drop points for the first time since December.
Pep Guardiola is facing a growing injury crisis, with key players like Rodri, Ruben Dias, John Stones, and Nathan Ake all sidelined. However, the manager is hopeful of welcoming back Jack Grealish, who has missed out since an injury in training.
Brighton themselves are also dealing with a number of injuries, with Solly March, James Milner, and Adam Webster ruled out. However, the Seagulls will be boosted by the return of Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley, who both feature on the bench.
Despite the injuries, City are still expected to field a strong team, with Kyle Walker returning to the starting lineup. Kevin De Bruyne is also on the bench after making a late cameo in the Champions League defeat to Sporting.
The match will be a crucial one for City, who will be looking to get back to winning ways and maintain their title challenge. Brighton, meanwhile, will be hoping to cause an upset and pick up their first win against City in over a year.
