Predicted Starting XI: Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion (Carabao Cup Fourth Round)
Story updated
The story in brief
9-second readManchester City must brush off the disappointment of last weekend's trip to Villa Park as they host a red-hot Brighton side eager to carry their Premier League form into the Carabao Cup.
From the source
City's last challenge proved all too tricky as the Blues took a trip to Birmingham in a bid to extend their winning Premier League start to eight games long, as a Nicolas Jackson brace saw off a sorry defensive display.
It was the Senegalese frontman who fired Villa a goal to the good just six minutes from the first whistle. Marc Guehi bit off more than he could chew in possession, leaving scope for the former Bayern Munich striker to dispatch from close range as the Villans enjoyed an early streak of jubilation.
The hosts would carry their lead down the tunnel at half time, leaving Manchester City ravaging for answers to their Claret questions, with Iliman Ndiaye clipping the outside of the post and leaving Villa keeper Zion Suzuki rooted before the break.
