Hurzeler faces two fitness calls as Albion prepare for City clash
- Manchester City host Brighton & Hove Albion in a Premier League fixture on Saturday, October 31, 2026, marking the clubs' second meeting within four days at the Etihad Stadium.
- Head coach Enzo Maresca rotated his squad during Wednesday's Carabao Cup fourth-round tie, which ended in a 2-2 draw before City advanced on penalties. The result forced a rematch for this weekend's league contest.
- Maresca stated on Friday that all players are available except Antoine Semenyo, who remains the only confirmed absentee. Gianlugli Donnarumma, Josko Gvardiol, and Erling Haaland are expected to return after missing the midweek cup tie.
- City are expected to utilize a 4-2-3-1 formation, reuniting Enzo Fernandez and Elliot Anderson in central midfield. Jeremy Doku, Rayan Cherki, and Foden are tipped to support Haaland in attack.
- Brighton manager Fabian faces selection decisions due to reported injuries that may limit his squad's midfield and attacking options. The visitors arrive at the Etihad aiming to bounce back after pushing City through 90 minutes in the cup match.
