Manchester City are preparing to host Brighton in the Premier League on Wednesday, January 13. Ahead of the game, it was revealed that The Seagulls will be without five key players against City. Brighton boss Graham Potter said that Danny Welbeck, Adam Lallana, Aaron Connolly and Tariq Lamptey will not recover from injury in time, meanwhile Yves Bissouma is suspended after picking up five yellow cards. Potter also spoke out on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. He said: "They're a fantastic team with a lot of great individuals, they're collectively an amazing outfit. "There's a great attitude within their group and a humility about their team - they have been worthy Premier League champions in the past. "[This season's title race] is still really early, you don't how things are going to go. But I've got my own concerns here." "We feel we have improved performance wise, results wise we haven't," he added. "It's a busy time for us all. There's a lot going on outside of football as well, but it's nothing we can't handle. We have to do our best and take the challenge of this week on, it'll bring us together - we're looking forward to it." source- Manchester Evening News
