Man City vs Brighton: Preview
Manchester City booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with a penalty shootout success over Brighton on Wednesday, as Enzo Maresca chose to rotate his squad on home soil.
It was goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli who stole the headlines, saving Lewis Dunk's penalty to send his side through, earning him a rare memory to remember.
City will be bidding to bounce back from Saturday's loss against Aston Villa in the Premier League as Brighton come back for round two, with a Nicolas Jackson brace sinking them to a 2-1 defeat.
The Blues are still having to cope without injured Antoine Semenyo (knee), while Matheus Nunes missed the defeat to Villa and Wednesday's cup win and remains a doubt due to a minor muscle issue.

Brighton pushed City all the way just a few days ago and Fabian Hurzeler will want to hit them where it hurts most in this 3pm kick-off.
The Seagulls have never won at the Etihad Stadium and this game would present a huge marker for their hopes to make it into Europe again come May next year.
In terms of injuries, both Ferdi Kadioglu and midfielder Chema Andres missed out earlier this week as they continued to be assessed.
Kaoru Mitoma, Femi Azeez, Pascal Struijk (all thigh), Evan Ferguson (ankle) and Stefanos Tzimas (knee) also are all still out, with Georginio Rutter perhaps favourite to start again in attack.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Man City 3-1 Brighton
City will have fire in their bellies after Wednesday's morale-boosting win and we expect a home win.
