Grealish and Laporte in - Man City XI fans want to see vs Brighton

Manchester City fans want to see Jack Grealish and Aymeric Laporte come into the starting XI to face Brighton.

City will be aiming to immediately bounce back after they fell to a 1-0 loss to Liverpool last week to end their undefeated start to the season. Pep Guardiola deviated from the winning formula with some of his team selections and supporters are urging the manager to return to the set-up that had been serving the Blues fondly until the trip to Anfield.

That means supporters want to see Grealish restored to the left of the attacking trio. The elegant playmaker was benched in Merseyside despite a good run of form of late. His return to the side would mean a lot of jinking as it would see Phil Foden return to the right flank and Bernardo Silva move back into midfield. Captain Ilkay Gundogan would be the one to make way.
