Manchester City are back in Premier League action on Saturday as they welcome Brighton to the Etihad Stadium. City find themselves in the unique position of a losing streak after defeats to Wolves and Arsenal in their last two Premier League outings.

Pep Guardiola will be looking to amend that and get his side back to winning ways against the impressive Seagulls. The Blues will be boosted by the return of Rodri who missed those defeats through suspension but the midfielder's three-match ban has now come to an end.

John Stones is also in contention for his first start of the season after getting 90 minutes under his belt across two games for England over the international break.
