Manchester City are set to welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday (March 15) as they look to claim a victory that could push them back into the Premier League's top four. And ahead of the encounter, there is definite question mark on Erling Haaland's availability.

Meanwhile, Brighton are aiming to achieve a historic league double over City, having triumphed 2-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this season. The Seagulls have been in excellent form and are strong contenders for a top-four finish, making this encounter vital for both teams' European hopes.

Historically, City have dominated this fixture, securing victories in each of their last ten home meetings with Brighton. However, City are dealing with setbacks as several key defensive players are ruled out due to injuries. Most notably, defenders Rodri, Nathan Ake, and John Stones are unavailable, which could weaken the team’s defensive stability.

Man City vs Brighton: Will Erling Haaland play Today in Premier League clash?

Erling Haaland is likely to be involved for Manchester City in their upcoming Premier League fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion. Having recovered from a knee injury that kept him out of key matches, Haaland's comeback is expected to strengthen City's attacking threat.

Haaland sustained a knee injury during the final moments of a 4-0 victory over Newcastle United in mid-February, which led to his absence from important matches, including a 3-1 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid and a Premier League clash with Liverpool.

However, Haaland marked his return against Tottenham Hotspur, where he netted the winning goal in a 1-0 victory. At present, no fresh reports are indicating any injury concerns for Haaland. His recent appearances and involvement in leisure activities suggest he has fully recovered from his knee issue. As a result, he is expected to be available for selection when Manchester City face Brighton & Hove Albion in their upcoming Premier League game.
