Manchester City will face off against Brighton & Hove Albion in an important match that could see them reclaim the top spot in the Premier League. Manchester City, currently in third place, have played fewer games than the league leaders and are determined to secure a win to boost their title aspirations. Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion, sitting in tenth place, are on a four-match unbeaten run but face a tough challenge against a motivated City side.

Brighton will be missing several key players due to injuries, leading them to field a weakened side in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Manchester City, on the other hand, have a fully fit squad apart from Erling Haaland, who is sidelined with a minor injury.
