The starting lineups are in ahead of Manchester City’s clash with Brighton at the Etihad
Manchester City and Brighton have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of today’s pivotal Premier League fixture at the Etihad Stadium. Today’s match is a crucial encounter in the battle to secure Champions League football for next season. Both teams have their eyes on that particular prize and a win today for either start could give them a crucial advantage over the other teams chasing the same goal.
Manchester City enters today’s match with Rodri, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake and John Stones all out of today’s match with long-term injuries. Their status hasn’t changed and won’t for the foreseeable future.
Oscar Bobb is on the comeback trail but today’s match may come too soon for the young winger. Pep Guardiola told the media yesterday that Bobb is edging closer to his return from injury. But that may come after the upcoming international break as per Guardiola’s update yesterday.
The major injury concern for Manchester City surrounds Ederson. City’s number-one keeper was withdrawn from the Brazil squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers due to an unspecified fitness issue. That news would appear to put him in doubt for today’s match.
Here are the starting lineups for today’s meeting between Manchester City and Brighton.
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola has made four changes to the starting lineup that lost 1-nil to Nottingham Forest last weekend. In comes Stefan Ortega, Rico Lewis, Ilkay Gundogan and Omar Marmoush. Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva and Matheus Nunes drop to the bench today’s match. Ederson is out of today’s match due to injury.
Ederson misses today’s match due to the fitness issue that forced him to be withdrawn from international duty with Brazil.
Starting lineup: Stefan Ortega, Lewis, Khusanov, Dias (C), Gvardiol, Nico, Gundogan, Savinho, Marmoush, Doku, Haaland.
Substitutes: Carson, Kovacic, Grealish, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Reis, Matheus Nunes, Foden, McAtee.
