Brighton
Brighton trio Solly March (ACL) James Milner and Adam Webster (both thigh) are all targeting a return after the international break, but Hurzeler has confirmed that both Joao Pedro and Matt O'Riley have a "big chance" of making the matchday squad after spells out with ankle injuries.
Lewis Dunk (calf) and Yankuba Minteh (muscle) are both doubtful and will be assessed ahead of kickoff, while Yasin Ayari (ankle) "might be an option for the weekend" after coming off against Liverpool with an ankle problem. Carlos Baleba, meanwhile, did not feature at Anfield due to a knee issue, but he should be fit to return against Man City.
In-form striker Danny Welbeck has scored six goals in 10 Premier League games this season, but he has never found the net in 19 previous top-flight meetings with Man City. The 33-year-old is nevertheless expected to start in attack with Georginio Rutter and Kaoru Mitoma.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Igor, Estupinan; Kadioglu, Hinshelwood, Baleba, Mitoma; Rutter, Welbeck
Manchester City
As for Man City, Rodri (ACL) and Oscar Bobb (leg fracture) remain long-term absentees, while Ruben Dias, John Stones (both unspecified) and Jack Grealish (groin) are also nursing problems. Both Dias and Stones will target a return after the international break, while Grealish has surprising been called up to the England squad.
After a nine-game injury layoff, Kevin De Bruyne has been back in the squad for the last two games and was brought on as a substitute in the closing stages against Sporting. The playmaker is seemingly unlikely to start on Saturday as he continues to build up his fitness, but he could make another appearance off the bench.
Guardiola will weigh up whether to start Kyle Walker or Rico Lewis at right-back, while 19-year-old Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, who was handed his first senior start for Man City on Tuesday, could be replaced in central defence by Nathan Ake.
Jeremy Doku will be hoping to force his way into the first XI after making two substitute appearances since recovering from injury, while Erling Haaland is expected to lead the line once again, even though he has scored just once in his last five league games and also missed a penalty in the Champions League in midweek.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Gundogan; Savinho, Foden, Doku; Haaland
Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 3-3 Manchester City
