Confirmed Line-Ups: Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion (Premier League)
Manchester City return to Premier League action with a home clash against Brighton & Hove Albion at the temporarily renamed City in the Community Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola and his players know that they simply must pick up their standard of results as they continue their hunt of a UEFA Champions League place for the 2025/26 campaign, with fifth position now enough to secure a European position for next season.
Manchester City fell to a narrow defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest last time out as a Callum Hudson-Odoi effort in the final 10 minutes of the City Ground affair secured all three points of the hosts, who opened up a four-point gap on Pep Guardiola’s side.
Saturday afternoon’s clash with Brighton at home will be the final competitive affair before the international break in March, while club football will return with an FA Cup quarter-final clash against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium at the end of the month.
As for Fabian Hurzeler’s side, they find themselves in a rich run of winning form running since the staggering 7-0 defeat away to Nottingham Forest, defeating the likes of Newcastle United in the FA Cup fifth round away from home and Chelsea in the Premier League.
There is no change for Manchester City on the injury front ahead of this one, with Manuel Akanji, John Stones, and Nathan Ake all sidelined through their respective long-term problems, while Oscar Bobb and Rodri continue to build up their own fitness.
Ahead of kick-off at the ‘City in the Community Etihad Stadium’, here is how both Pep Guardiola and Fabian Hurzeler have lined up their respective Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion sides in Premier League action!
