Manchester City
Manchester City are still without Kyle Walker (groin) and Kalvin Phillips (shoulder), but John Stones could feature in the matchday squad this weekend as he has returned to first-team training following a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.
Guardiola could hand centre-back Aymeric Laporte his first Premier League start of the season, with either Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias or Manuel Akanji dropping down to the bench as a result.
Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez both watched on from the substitutes' bench at Anfield, but either player could be selected to play in the front three on Saturday alongside Foden and Haaland – the latter of whom has scored 10 goals in his last four home league games.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson, Cancelo, Akanji, Laporte, Ake; De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo; Foden, Haaland, Grealish
Brighton
As for Brighton, Kaoru Mitoma and Jakob Moder are ruled out with respective ankle and knee injuries, while Levi Colwill is carrying a minor knock and will be assessed ahead of kickoff.
Adam Lallana was handed a start in the draw with Forest and he will be hoping to retain his place in an advanced midfield role alongside Pascal Gross, which could see Trossard continue as an attack-minded left wing-back ahead of Pervis Estupinan.
The rest of De Zerbi's side is expected to remain the same, but the likes of Billy Gilmour, Tariq Lamptey and Deniz Undav will be pushing to start having all begun on the bench throughout this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Veltman, Dunk, Webster; March, Caicedo, Mac Allister, Trossard; Lallana, Gross; Welbeck
Prediction: Manchester City 2-0 Brighton & Hove Albion
