Uzbek defender Khusanov set to start in City’s match against Brighton

Today, March 15, the 29th round of the English Premier League will take place. As part of this round, Manchester City, featuring Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov, will host Brighton at home.

After 28 rounds, Manchester City holds 5th place with 47 points, securing the last UEFA Champions League qualification spot. With 46 points, Brighton is in 7th place and remains one of City’s main competitors in the standings.

A victory in today’s match would allow City to widen the gap with Brighton in the standings and potentially climb to 4th place if Chelsea drops points.

The 21-year-old Abdukodir Khusanov has recently started several matches in City’s main lineup. Due to injuries among many of City’s defenders, the Uzbek player is highly likely to feature in today’s starting lineup. Several international sports outlets also predict Husanov’s inclusion in the starting XI.

For reference, the Manchester City vs. Brighton match will kick off at 20:00 Tashkent time and will be hosted at the Etihad Stadium.
