Brighton (h) pre-match thread

Pep Guardiola: “They are incredible guys and of course, they are not happy when they don’t play, but around the corner there is always a chance and that is when you have to talk. Phil, David or Fernandinho understand completely.” [via @ManCity]

Will it be another blatant penalty that both ref and VAR ignore, or another piece of nonsense from VAR that will see GD diminished?

We’l bag six today.. can see a Kun and Raz goal fest

I'd like to see Fernandinho get the start in this one. Either in place or Otamendi or Gundogan.

Fair play to you and the travelling Brighton fans. City fans make a great deal about having more fans than Utd in Manchester but those that put in the miles are the loyalists.

Also explains why Brighton only sold half their away allocation. Looks like they've all be snapped up by City fans.

Brighton sold out their allocation weeks ago .

This is a great game for Dinho at centre back. It could be 75% possession, let’s have him stepping into midfield to draw their striker off Rodri. I’d like to see it.

Would love to see Foden get the nod today, but seems pretty unlikely after Guardiola’s press conference yesterday.

First time there this season as I have been on holiday.

What do we do if we score, sit/stand about until they have had a look on VAR I presume?

i sorta don't get all this love for dinho at centreback. he can play there yes but I think you will only see him playing there as a needs must kind of thing for injuries. as he is getting on i think his role will be to play more cup ties and less league games, to help keep rodri fresh, and of course injury coverage, but not playing CB just for the sake of getting him in.
