Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester City could line up for Wednesday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker remains an injury doubt for Wednesday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion at the Etihad Stadium.

The England international twisted his ankle in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid last week and was not available for the weekend's 3-2 defeat to Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-finals.

Cole Palmer continues to struggle with an issue in the same area but is edging closer to a comeback, and Kevin De Bruyne was fit enough for an unused substitute role at Wembley.

Zack Steffen was at fault for Sadio Mane's first goal in Saturday's semi-final, and Pep Guardiola is sure to recall Ederson for the meeting with the Seagulls as the last line of defence.

Joao Cancelo is set to hold his place on the right in Walker's likely absence, while Oleksandr Zinchenko aims to hold off the threat of Nathan Ake for the left-back role.

Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte did not earn any minutes on Saturday and could therefore return to form the central defensive pairing on Wednesday, as Rodri replaces Fernandinho in the number six role.

If De Bruyne is fit enough to feature from the first whistle in midweek, the Belgian will be in line for a return to the first XI alongside Ilkay Gundogan, which could see Phil Foden enjoy a well-earned rest.

Riyad Mahrez can expect to displace Gabriel Jesus out on the right, while Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva may complete the attack for the reigning champions.

Man City possible starting lineup: Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Silva, Sterling
