Ahead of Manchester City’s Saturday, November 9 Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion, Guardiola made these remarks.

The manager said that the team’s current problems might have been caused in part by the absence of important players Particularly Rodri’s injury has affected the defensive stability of the midfield; Kevin De Bruyne’s absence has been felt in terms of inventiveness moving forward. De Bruyne is now back in training, however, and may make his starting lineup comeback for this weekend’s game.

With only two points behind league leaders Liverpool, Manchester City now ranks second in the Premier League having scored 23 points from their first ten games. Conversely, Brighton is in ninth position having scored 16 points from 10 games.

Manchester City, the reigning champions, will be keen to resume successful ways. A setback against Brighton might undermine their championship aspirations even more and complicate their chances of closing the difference to Liverpool at the top of the league but the club under Guardiola is known for its comeback in recent years.
