Manchester City vs Brighton: Latest team news, injury updates and predicted starting XI

Manchester City vs Brighton: Latest team news, injury updates and predicted starting XI Manchester City take on Brighton today at the Etihad Stadium in Premier League action. The two teams met on Wednesday night in the Carabao Cup. That game finished 2-2 with Enzo Maresca’s side claiming the fourth round tie 4-3 on penalties. Today’s match sees 1st vs 3rd on the Premier League table clash. It promises to be an entertaining match which should showcase what the Premier League is all about. Here is the latest Manchester City team news and injury updates, along with my predicted City starting eleven for today’s match. Latest City team and injury news. Manchester City only have one player unavailable for today’s match due to injury. Antoine Semenyo is ruled out of today’s game due to a knee injury. Matheus Nunes should return today as Enzo Maresca told the media yesterday that Semenyo is the only City player unavailable for today’s clash with Brighton. Erling Haaland, Josko Gvardiol, Elliot Anderson, Gianluigi Donnarumma, and Ruben Dias will all return for today’s game. All five players were rested for Manchester City’s midweek Carabao Cup tie against Fabian Hurzeler’s side. It would be a surprise if they all didn’t start in today’s game. In terms of team selection, it would be expected that Enzo Maresca will select his strongest available starting eleven today. In my opinion, Abdukodir Khusanov should start at centre-back alongside Ruben Dias. Matheus Nunes should slot in at right-back as City will need their pace against Brighton’s clever and quick front line. My predicted City starting eleven can be seen below.
