Brighton and Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi has jokingly agreed with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp that Pep Guardiola should take a sabbatical from football.
Manchester City welcome the Seagulls to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday as they aim to return to winning ways following last weekend's loss at Anfield. A second half Mohammed Salah goal was enough to sink the Blues who felt aggrieved that they had a Phil Foden strike ruled out for a foul prior to the winner.
Unlike the rest of the Premier League, City were not in action in midweek as their match with Arsenal was postponed to accommodate the Gunners' rearranged Europa League fixture. The Blues will perhaps be fresher than their visitors who drew with Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
