- On Wednesday, Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton at the Etihad Stadium after being limited to half-chances in a quiet opening.
- Manchester City's defensive injuries left them reshuffling central defence, with Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias injured and John Stones sidelined, forcing starts for Abdukodir Khusanov and debutant Max Alleyne.

- Making only his second start since a two-month lay-off, Kaoru Mitoma scored his first goal since September and miskicked a chance that bounced off Gianluigi Donnarumma and the post.
