Ortega in! Man City and Brighton name starting XIs | OneFootball

The starting line-ups are in from the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City welcome Brighton for Saturday afternoon Premier League action.

The home side have been hampered throughout the season by injury issues, particularly defensively, which show no signs of subsiding, as Stefan Ortega comes in between the sticks for Ederson.

The visitors have their own defensive injuries to deal with following suspension, and Matt O'Riley has not passed a fitness test.

Here's how they line up.

City can move into the top four with a win ahead of Chelsea's clash with Arsenal on Sunday but Brighton, who are just a point behind, can also leapfrog both with a victory.
