Injuries were a frustrating topic CitySeason and one mitigating factor during the campaign. Defense problems were devastated by the choice of Guardiola team, and Manuel Akanji, John Stones and Nathan Ake All were on the side of long moves.
Rodri and Oscar Bobb are the long -term absence, and the first city still missed them, and Nico Gonzalez has yet to fill the void left by his compatriot.
Guardiola makes decisions to make its composition because he is looking for a response to a defeat last weekend, but like Mate Kovacation, Rica Lewis and Omar Marmoush, they have potentially entered this Saturday.
Man City predicted the VS Brighton line (4-1-4-1): Eerson; Lewis, Khusanov, Dias, Guardiol; Gonzalez; Savinho, Kovacic, Foden, Marmoush; Haaland.
BrightonThe recent form is even more impressive given the injuries they are currently fighting, especially in a defensive third. Skiper Lewis Dunk is joined by Igor, Ferdi Kadioglu and Joel Veltman aside.
Jason Steele and former City midfielder James Milner are both long -term absence, while Matt O’riley is suspicious of missing the last two games due to a knee injury.
The good news for Brighton is that Tariq Lamptey will return from the suspension after sending him in the fifth circle of Fa Cup. He should come to Jack Hinshelwood in the right back.
Brighton predicted the VS Man City line (4-2-3-1): Verbruuggen; Lamptey, Van Hecke, Webster, Estupinan; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Routter, mythomas; Pedro.
City can still save some pride from a disappointing campaign if they qualify for the Champions League and win the FA Cup, but neither will be directly given their current form. They also looked in defense and surprisingly non -inspirational in the last third despite their rich possibilities.
Brighton has been in excellent shape and has won Newcastle, Bournemouth and Chelsea (twice) in recent weeks. After already triumphanting over the city in November in the reverse fixture, they will have some fears that have embarked on the Etihad stadium.
Cityzens are in a more powerful form on local soil this season, but they could find life by causing themselves against the intensity of seagulls.
