In the 29th round of the English Premier League, “Manchester City” will host “Brighton” at home. This game is very important for both teams' players who are fighting for a spot in the UEFA Champions League.
Josep Guardiola's team must secure a victory in this match. Jud Noble, an expert from the prestigious cityxtra.co.uk portal, presented the probable lineup for “City” and analyzed which players Guardiola might give a chance in the starting eleven.
Goalkeeper
Ederson – Despite his mistake in the last round, the Brazilian goalkeeper will take his place in goal again. His ability to play well with his feet and make crucial saves remains one of Guardiola's main advantages.
Defensive Line
Matheus Nunes – The wing-back has been performing excellently in transitioning from defense to attack in recent matches. Considering the number of injuries in the team, the Portuguese player is likely to retain his position.
Ruben Dias and Abduqodir Husanov – This duo, which has formed a reliable tandem in the center of defense, is also expected to be a key strength in today's match. Husanov has been increasingly proving himself since joining “City.”
Josko Gvardiol – The Croatian player, who fills out the defensive line, has been one of the most consistent players in the team this season. He is active not only in defense but also in joining the attack.
Midfield Line
Niko and Mateo Kovacic – These two midfielders will be responsible for ensuring the team's dominance in the center of the field. They need to neutralize the opponent's attacks and be active in pressing.
Attacking Line
Savino, Umar Marmush, and Phil Foden – Savino's quick and clever movements will test the “Brighton” defenders on the right wing. Marmush aims to create unexpected impressions for fans by performing a similar task on the left wing and adding a fresh element to the attack. Phil Foden is expected to lead the team in the center of the attack, providing dangerous passes and assists to his teammates.
Forward
Erling Haaland – The Norwegian striker aims to score his 100th goal in the English Premier League against “Brighton.” Defending against him will be a real test for the opponent.
Probable Starting Lineup:
Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Husanov, Gvardiol; Niko, Kovacic, Foden; Savino, Haaland, Marmush.
