City take on the Seagulls on Wednesday with a 19:30 (UK) kick-off at the Etihad Stadium.
Before that, Guardiola spoke to journalists to preview the game and also discuss a host of other topics.
He gave the very latest on our injury situation, confirming the absence of Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias and John Stones in central defence as well as revealing starlet defender Max Alleyne has returned from his loan spell at Watford.
In positive news, the manager said Nico Gonzalez and Nathan Ake were both fit.
The boss also talked about the challenge of battling injuries, the strength of Arsenal at the top of the table and the departure of Ruben Amorim as Manchester United manager.
