Predicted Brighton XI: Hurzeler recalls forgotten Seagulls star to line-up with £16m ace keen to open goalscoring account

Brighton travel to the Etihad for an EFL Cup fourth‑round clash with Manchester City on Wednesday, a preview to their Premier League meeting three days later. Manager Fabian Hurzeler aims to end a two‑match goal drought after a 3‑0 win over Arsenal, a goalless draw with Jablonec, and a 2‑0 loss at Liverpool. Brighton have never beaten City at the Etihad (0‑14‑3) but remain unbeaten in their last four cup ties against the champions. Hurzeler’s predicted XI sees goalkeeper Jason Steele return, a back four of Costinha, Svoboda, Dunk and Hadjam, and a 4‑2‑3‑1 with Georginio Rutter leading, while £16m summer signing Ibrahim Osman looks to open his scoring account.
