Follow Hurzeler's press conference ahead of Man City v Albion
Hurzeler is expected to rotate as Brighton manage injuries and a packed schedule, with two key players unlikely to feature, the club said.
- On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Manchester City hosts Brighton in the Carabao Cup fourth round at the Etihad Stadium, beginning two consecutive matches between the sides.
- Manager Enzo Maresca granted five key players three days off following a loss to Aston Villa; Erling Haaland, Ruben Dias, Elliot Anderson, Josko Gvardiol, and Gianluigi Donnarumma will miss Wednesday's fixture.
- With Geronimo Rulli starting in goal, Maresca defended Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marc Guehi, stating he remains "completely happy" with his captains while noting the 34-year-old Argentinian is prepared.
- Facing selection challenges, Brighton Head Coach Fabian Hurzeler must manage Chema Andres and Ferdi Kadioglu, who sustained hip injuries at Liverpool; both must "manage the pain" before travel to Manchester.
- Saturday brings a second Premier League encounter at the Etihad Stadium as both squads navigate a busy schedule amid injuries and competing tactical demands across multiple competitions.
