Manchester City return to the Premier League tonight against Graham Potter’s Brighton.
City are looking to stay in touch with the top of the Premier League table after Manchester United advanced three points ahead last night. The Blues have two games in hand over United and Liverpool, and their next six games are favorable compared to the first two, which meet on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola, however, will be without five players for the clash against the Gaviotas, with Sergio Agüero still isolated after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for Covid-19. Cole Palmer and Eric Garcia remain isolated after their own positive tests, while Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake remain injured.
Guardiola could continue with a false nine again, even with Gabriel Jesus back, after seeing the tactic employed so successfully in the last three impressive wins in the Liga, Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
