🚨Confirmed XIs: City host Brighton needing a must-win | OneFootball

Manchester City hosts Brighton today at a critical moment of the season. After two consecutive draws against Sunderland and Chelsea, the gap with the leader Arsenal has widened to six points. Pep Guardiola's team needs to get back to winning ways to avoid prematurely exiting the Premier League title race.

The creativity of Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki will be crucial to assist the top scorer Erling Haaland. Meanwhile, Brighton arrives motivated after defeating Burnley and boasts the return of Pascal Gross, who seeks to provide the necessary control to stop the Citizens.

The immediate precedent favors the "Seagulls," who came from behind to beat City 2-1 in the first leg. Today, at the Etihad, the hosts seek revenge and three golden points to close the gap at the top.
