Manchester City players are returning to the club after international duty and some have more to prove than others
It will have been a long fortnight for Pep Guardiola waiting to try and leave behind consecutive Premier League defeats for the first time in five years, yet there is no talk of crisis at the Etihad. Indeed, if the Blues win they will return to the top of the Premier League for at least a few hours.
Rodri Rodri has already apologised to his teammates for the ridiculous red card he picked up against Forest, and the matches without him have shown how important he is to the side. Starting with Brighton at home, the Spaniard needs to get right back to his level as the best midfielder in the league while showing none of the stupidity that caused his suspension in the first place.
The manager explained his reasoning for leaving Grealish out at Arsenal but that will still have hurt, even as he worked his way back from injury that disrupted the start to his season. The 28-year-old needs a run of games to find his feet again and remind everyone what he can bring to the team.
