Pep Guardiola has John Stones back on the bench as Manchester City face Brighton this afternoon in the Premier League.
THREE CHANGES FROM ANFIELD
Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish are in for Nathan Ake, Ilkay Gundogan and Phil Foden.
It seems likely that Joao Cancelo will move across to left-back with Laporte in the middle alongside Dias.
It’s as expected in midfield, with Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Rodri the three trusted by Guardiola once again.
Our wingers today will be Grealish and Mahrez, either side of Erling Haaland.
Man City XI: Ederson, Akanji, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Mahrez, Grealish, Haaland
Subs: Ortega Moreno, Stones, Ake, Gundogan, Alvarez, Gomez, Foden, Palmer, Lewis
No denying that’s a strong XI!
