When City makes four modifications, Marmoush returns.
For the match against Brighton at home, Omar Marmoush is one of four changes made by City.
With Phil Foden, Matheus Nunes, and Bernardo sitting on the bench and Ederson not entirely fit, the Egyptian forward is joined in the starting lineup by Rico Lewis, Ilkay Gundogan, and Stefan Ortega Moreno.
The Seagulls have a strong away record coming in.
In their 14 away games, Fabian Hürzeler's team has scored 25 goals and given up 24 goals while winning six, drawing four, and losing four. It should be a fun competition!
LINE-UPS
CITY: Ortega, Lewis, Khusanov, Dias (C), Gvardiol, Nico, Gundogan, Savinho, Marmoush, Doku, Haaland
Subs: Carson, Kovacic, Grealish, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Reis, Nunes, Foden, McAtee
BRIGHTON: Verbruggen, Hinshelwood, Webster (C), van Hecke, Estupinian, Baleba, Gomez, Minteh, Georginio, Mitoma, Joao Pedro
Subs: Rushworth, Cashin, Slater, Gruda, Knight, Wieffer, Ayari, Welbeck, Adingra
POSSIBLE METHODS AND DEVELOPMENT
The center defensive duo for Ortega Moreno will be Abdukodir Khusanov and Ruben Dias, while Lewis (right-back) and Josko Gvardiol (left-back) will play in front of him.
A midfield three consisting of Gundogan and a more skilled Marmoush will be pinned by Nico.
Erling Haaland will be the central striker, and Savinho and Jeremy Doku will alternate down either flank.
Thus, 4-3-3 on paper, with tactical adjustments as necessary.
The Blues aim for a Top 5 finish.
This season has occasionally been difficult by the extraordinary standards City has set over the last ten or so years.
As the Blues enter their last ten Premier League games, we still have everything to play for despite the fact that injuries have severely damaged our form.
Pep Guardiola's top priority is definitely a Champions League spot, since a top five finish is likely to result in that, as well as the possibility of advancement in the FA Cup.
