MANCHESTER CITY
No surprises that clear-cut news on Haaland (knee) and O'Reilly (ankle) wasn't revealed during Pep Guardiola's presser.
Haaland missed the Leeds United win on Saturday, while O'Reilly hobbled off in the second half.
"Haaland feels much better, but we didn't train yesterday. We'll decide today after training. The same goes for O'Reilly."
Josko Gvardiol (leg) and Mateo Kovacic (ankle) remain out.
NEWCASTLE UNITED
Jacob Ramsey has recovered from his half-time substitution on Saturday.
"Jacob trained well yesterday, so he's had a quick recovery."
However, Nick Woltemade is ill and hasn't trained in the last few days.
"Nick Woltemade is ill, and we haven't seen him for a couple of days. We'll assess his availability."
On injuries, Eddie Howe revealed that Tino Livramento (hamstring) is ahead of schedule but might not be ready for this match.
"Livramento is getting closer, but it might be too soon. We're desperate for his return, but it has to be the right time."
Lewis Miley (dead leg), Fabian Schar (ankle), Bruno Guimaraes (hamstring), and Emil Krafth (knee) remain out.
BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION
Fabian Hurzeler is confident that Yasin Ayari (shoulder) will be available on Wednesday after returning to training.
"Ayari trained yesterday, and I'm confident he'll be an option for tomorrow."
Long-term absentees Adam Webster (knee) and Stefanos Tzimas (knee) remain out.
Hurzeler reassures that there are no major concerns ahead of Arsenal's visit.
"We have some minor issues, but no significant concerns. We'll test the players today to determine who's 100% fit for tomorrow."
Brighton won't maintain the same starting XI that secured wins in the last two league matches.
"A stable starting XI helps, but we won't do it tomorrow. One or two players might not recover, so we need fresh legs and players who can run and bring energy."
Veterans Danny Welbeck and James Milner are potential rotation candidates.
"Welbeck might be rotated, but it's more about James Milner. He's had good performances and deserves rest."
Yankuba Minteh's game time remains a topic of discussion, as he hasn't started a league game this year.
"Yankuba Minteh has the physicality we need, but he must accept the situation and work hard to get back."
