ℹ️ Team News: Brighton
Jeremy Sarmiento (Metatarsal Fracture) and Tariq Lamptey (Knee Injury) aren’t available for Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi.
It’s our opinion that The Seagulls may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for the game, utilising Jason Steele, Pascal Gross, Jan Paul van Hecke, Levi Colwill, Pervis Estupinan, Moises Caicedo, Billy Gilmour, Facundo Buonanotte, Julio Enciso, Kaoru Mitoma and Danny Welbeck.
📰 Team News: Manchester City
Thanks to a mainly healthy group, there’s just the sole fitness worry for the Manchester City gaffer Pep Guardiola to be concerned with. Nathan Aké (Hamstring Injury) misses out for this game. Benjamin Mendy will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
We reckon that The Citizens might play in a 3-2-4-1 system, settling for Stefan Ortega, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Rodri, Rico Lewis, Ilkay Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.
💭 Prediction
Our thinking is that Brighton & Hove Albion will manage to score a goal against this Manchester City outfit, although just one goal isn’t likely to be good enough.
Therefore, we’re predicting a very close game with a 1-2 winning score for Manchester City when all is said and done.
