Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester City – Team news and starting Line-up. 9 November 2024
Brighton & Hove Albion are set to host Manchester City in a highly anticipated Premier League clash on Saturday, November 9th, 2024.
Brighton, known for their attacking flair and possession-based style, will be looking to capitalize on Manchester City’s recent struggles. The Seagulls have been impressive at home this season, defeating Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United at the American Express Stadium.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in a bit of a slump, having lost three consecutive matches. However, with the potential return of Kevin De Bruyne, they will be hoping to turn their fortunes around.
Team News:
The hosts are without Adam Webster, James Milner and Solly March.
They could, however, welcome back the likes of Yankuba Minteh, Joao Pedro and perhaps even Matt O’Riley.
City’s injury crisis has eased somewhat, though John Stones and Ruben Dias are not likely to feature here. Rodri and Oscar Bobb are long-term absentees.
Kevin De Bruyne made a brief cameo against Sporting as he looks to step up his return from injury.
The eleventh round of the English Premier League will include the Brighton vs Manchester City encounter. The City now has no place to retreat, facing a series of small losses.
Guardiola’s team has suffered three consecutive defeats. On the positive side, it took place in various tournaments. The challenging scenario unfolded solely in the League Cup, where Tottenham eliminated City with a score of 1:2. Subsequently, he also experienced defeat with Bournemouth in the EPL (1:2) and with Sporting in the Champions League (1:4). Many questions likely stem from the match in the European Cup, where the Citizens fielded nearly a combative lineup. In previous meetings, their enthusiasm for victory was not as pronounced.
Man City faced minimal challenges in previous meetings leading up to this series. The club maintains an exceptionally high standard. Furthermore, this is indeed a common situation for the Citizens. As the second quarter of the season approaches, they begin to ‘bump’. However, following the beginning of the second half, the team accelerates and begins to secure victories consistently. I wouldn’t be concerned about Guardiola’s team.
Brighton also exhibits a degree of inconsistency. However, in contrast to Man City, the Seagulls maintain this performance level throughout the season. They have experienced minimal losses, with only a string of draws and victories. In recent meetings, Hürzeler’s team suffered two losses against the same opponent, Liverpool, with scores of 2:3 in the League Cup and 1-2 in the EPL.
