Jack Grealish, Ruben Dias and John Stones - along with long-term absentees Rodri and Oscar Bobb - are all unavailable for the weekend trip to the south coast.
However, on a positive note, there were no fresh injuries from our midweek Champions League game.
Kevin De Bruyne played the last few minutes of our 4-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon, while Jeremy Doku, Savinho and Manuel Akanji – all of whom have had knocks of some sort recently - all played some part in the game and Kyle Walker was an unused sub.

“[There is] no good news,” said Guardiola.
“We have the same [players available] as we did for Lisbon. The players that travelled, still they are there.”
Asked how he felt about Grealish being selected for England despite being unavailable for City, the boss replied: “It is a question for the manager of England.”

City will look to end a run of three consecutive defeats in three different competitions against the Seagulls before the international break begins.
Asked if he needs to reassure his players, Pep said: “I don’t think so. Of course we are not used to playing three games in three different competitions.
“It’s football, it’s happened. We know the reason why we struggled, but we are looking forward to the Brighton game and after the international break.
“After that, some players will be coming back better and recover and for all the problems that we have; little problems that every player has, we will solve it, I hope so.
“I have known them for nine years. They have proved many times what they are capable of so it doesn’t change the opinion I have of them.
“Sometimes it happens and you have to understand it.”
