【0 wins in 2 games! Guardiola plays against the head coach born in the 1990s again]

Brighton coach Helzer, born in February 1993, is only 32 years old this year. Last June, Hulzer officially took over Brighton and became the youngest (non-interim) coach in Premier League history. In the 2024-25 season, Guardiola and Hulzeller had two conversations, Manchester City drew 1 and lost 1, without any wins.

54-year-old Guardiola is one of the most successful coaches in football history, winning 39 championship trophys in his coaching career. When Guardiola set sail in Barcelona's first team in 2008, Hulzeller was only a 15-year-old child. The Premier League has played against the post-90s coach for the third time. Can Guardiola win this time?

【Miracle Milestone, Haaland ushers in the 100th Premier League match]

A hundred milestones in the Premier League, can Magistrate Buu make a contribution?

[The main goalkeeper battle Guardiola is in trouble]

22-year-old Trafford returned to Manchester City from Burnley this summer with a transfer fee of 27 million pounds. After returning to Manchester City, Trafford started in two Premier League games, defeating Wolves 4-0 in the first game, and Trafford did not have many opportunities to perform; in the second game, he lost to Tottenham 0-2, Trafford made a big mistake and gave gifts with low-level mistakes, which made Ederson on the bench unable to bear to look at him. Against Brighton, Guardiola should make a decision - Trafford and Ederson, who will be the main goalkeeper.

【Expected starter】

Brighton (4231): Weirbrugan/Weifel, Van Heik, Dunk, Deke Ipper/Baleba, Ayari/Sanzahn, O'Reilly, Mint/Wilbeck

Manchester City (4231): Trafford/Lewis, Stones, Ruben Dias, Ak/Rodry, Reindes/Bob, Sherkey, Marmush/Haland
