Numbers for the two teams before their meeting
Although Brighton are used to harassing the top teams in the Premier League, they have not had much success against Manchester City in recent years.
They are winless in their last six matches against Pep Guardiola’s side, and the last time they beat them in the Amex was in May 2021, after City had already won the tournament.
Brighton have lost their last two matches, and interestingly both losses came against Liverpool.
Brighton were eliminated from the League Cup by Arne Slott’s side last week and were then beaten by them at Anfield, despite leading at half-time 1-0.
Manchester City suffered a harsh defeat against Portuguese Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League on Tuesday, with a score of 4-1.
This defeat came after losses to Tottenham and Bournemouth, putting Pep Guardiola’s team on its first streak of three consecutive defeats since 2018.
Despite City’s recent decline in form, Erling Haaland has once again reached a prominent position in the goalscoring charts.
The Norwegian has already scored eleven goals, putting him three ahead of his nearest rival in the Golden Boot race.
Brighton is still unbeaten at home this season in Premier League matches, as it won against Manchester United and Tottenham, while drawing with Ipswich, Nottingham Forest, and Wolverhampton.
Live broadcast, watch the match between Manchester City and Brighton
Manchester City, the defending Premier League champions, have an excellent record against Brighton and are usually the favorites to win here.
However, Pep Guardiola’s side are in bad shape at the moment, which is keeping things in flux.
Brighton have not been at their best, with their last win coming on October 19.
However, the Seagulls are unbeaten at home, are very dangerous on the counter-attack, and will be ready to open up a depleted City defense if given the opportunity.
Despite this, Brighton’s defense is by no means airtight, as they have conceded the second most goals in the top ten at the moment.
