Manchester City-Brighton, the probable formations

Manchester City-Brighton, the probable formations

In the ninth day of the Premier League, Manchester City hosts Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton. Kickoff at 4 p.m. at Manchester's Etihad Stadium. The Citizens need to return to victory after two consecutive league losses to Wolverhampton and Arsenal. The Seagulls are no better off, with a defeat and a draw in the last two days.

Guardiola relies on Haaland in attack, supported by the trident formed by Foden, Alvarez and Doku in the three-quarter. In midfield, Rodri comes back from disqualification, while in defense there is room for Akanji and Dias.

De Zerbi chooses Ferguson as the offensive terminal with Adingra, Pedro and Mitoma in support. Midfield line formed by Gross and Baleba, on the flanks there will be Veltman on the right and March on the left.

MANCHESTER CITY (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Silva, Rodri; Foden, Alvarez, Doku; Haaland. All. Guardiola.

BRIGHTON (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, March; Gross, Baleba; Adingra, Pedro, Mitoma; Ferguson. All. De Zerbi.
