It's hard to name starting XI as City hope for calmer waters at Brighton

CITY started the season with an abundance of positives at Wolves but the weekend defeat to Tottenham means the Blues now have a raft of selection questions.

Some of those who started at Molineux couldn't follow up their fine performances against Spurs.

Pep Guardiola only made two changes to his XI for the Etihad defeat but he could make plenty more for the trip to Brighton this weekend.

City arguably only have four certain starters for the contest with question marks over who starts in goal and in the advanced midfield positions, while the injury news will impact the backline.

James Trafford was given the nod in goal against Tottenham but suffered a poor afternoon and was at fault for the second goal.
