City will be looking to return to winning ways, with our latest league outing a 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa.
But it's also a game that will see Enzo Maresca's side hope to capitalise on the momentum after a penalty shootout victory over the Seagulls in the Carabao Cup earlier in the week.
With that in mind, here is our Gameweek 9 report ahead of the 11:00 (UK) deadline on Saturday 30 October.
City Star
Iliman Ndiaye (£5.8m) has now registered an assist in three of City's last four Premier League matches.
Ndiaye has had 13 shots on goal in the league, of which nine have come from inside the box. Only Erling Haaland (£15.7m) and Rayan Cherki (£8.0m) have had more in the City team.

The midfielder has also created nine chances in the league, of which four have been classified as big chances. Ndiaye has also supplied 20 crosses which is only bettered by Enzo Fernandez (£6.9m).
He has also had more touches and received more passes in the final third than any other City player.
One to Watch
Maxim De Cuyper (£4.9m) is Brighton's top-scoring player in Fantasy this season. The defender has registered 60 points this season. De Cuyper has registered two goals, three assists, five clean sheets and eight bonus points.
Differentials
Elsewhere, Jan Paul van Hecke (£5.7m) and Evanilson (£6.2m) are low-owned gems who have good potential in Gameweek 9.

van Hecke has now returned a goal, three clean sheets, six defensive contribution points and three bonus points across the last six gameweeks.
Meanwhile, Evanilson has scored in each of the last three gameweeks. In that time, he has returned 25 FPL points.
