Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Carabao Cup game against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium.

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Chema Andres and Ferdi Kadıoglu have "very painful" hip injuries so are doubts for the cup game. They are expected to recover in time for Saturday.
• Pascal Struijk is unavailable but fellow centre-back Michael Svoboda is set to return to the squad.
• Mats Wieffer and Yankuba Minteh will travel and then a decision will be made on their level of involvement.
• Hurzeler said the last-16 cup tie is "a do-or-die game" so they "are fully focused" in their preparations for it.

Manchester City's boss Enzo Maresca spoke to the media about Rayan Ait-Nouri: "He is a full-back, in that position we have Abdukodir Khusanov, who is doing fantastic and we have Nico O'Reilly, when he is fit, he is fantastic. Ait-Nouri is in the same position so it is a competition between them."

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca on Marc Guehi's form: "I'm completely happy with Marc because the way he reacted is fantastic. He's a top guy; again, he's one of the captains, he's a leader and I love Marc, to be honest."

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca spoke to the media about playing Brighton in two consecutive games, he said: "The two games are so close [together], so we need to plan and make some changes [to the team].

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca spoke on first choice goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma's recent dip in form: "When a football player or manager don't get results or make some mistakes, it's normal that it [criticism] is a consequence.

"Gigio, I think, since we started has done well. It's part of the season, they're playing so many games, so many minutes that sometimes it's almost impossible to not make a mistake.

"He's quite a strong guy. He knows anyway that when he makes some mistake, he doesn't need us to tell him that was a mistake. He recognises that and it's part of the game."

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca confirmed he will play Geronimo Rulli in goal: "He's good. Before I arrive here I had a conversation with him, he knows exactly his role. Day-by-day he is helping a lot. When he played some minutes he was good and tomorrow he will play again."

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca confirmed he gave Erling Haaland, Ruben Dias, Elliot Anderson, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Josko Gvardiol three days off after Saturday's defeat at Aston Villa "to recover energy" and so they "come back [with] full energy and we go again".
