Manchester City Prepares for Key Premier League Clash Against Brighton
Manchester City is set to face Brighton for the second time this week at the Etihad Stadium. After triumphing over Brighton in a penalty shootout during the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, City now shifts its focus to a crucial Premier League match. Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that the squad is mostly fit, providing a significant advantage as they aim to secure all three points against a Brighton team performing well in the league this season.
Semenyo Unavailable for City
Antoine Semenyo is the only player unavailable for today’s match. Enzo Maresca discussed the squad’s condition yesterday, noting, “They are all available. Apart from Antoine Semenyo, the rest are all available.”

The manager also provided an update on Semenyo’s recovery, saying, “He’s good. He’s in a good mood. He’s in the building making the recovery sessions and the therapy that he needs, but it’s too early for now.”
Key Players Back in Action
Manchester City will benefit from the return of several key players for today’s fixture. Erling Haaland, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Josko Gvardiol, Elliot Anderson, and Ruben Dias were given a rest during the Carabao Cup. Despite Matheus Nunes missing that match due to injury, he is now ready to play, which is a boost for City as they face Brighton.
The return of Matheus Nunes is particularly significant, as his right-back position has been lacking his influence. Nunes’ participation will be felt in this important match for City.
