With its elimination in the Champions League last Wednesday, Manchester City is even more hungry for a Premier League title. Triple reigning champions, the Skyblues are in the final race, neck and neck with Arsenal and Liverpool. On a series of 3 victories in a row (Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Luton), Kevin De Bruyne and his teammates must take the three points of victory this Thursday against Brighton (9 p.m.). The presence of Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland is uncertain due to fatigue; the latter was not on the scoresheet against Chelsea last Sunday in the FA Cup semi-final.
For Brighton, the objective is to get back on track. 10th in the Premier League, the Seagulls are on a series of 4 games without a win. Having had no success in the league since a match against Nottingham Forest on March 10, 2024, the club is in a bad situation. To hope to shake up a member of the top 3, Brighton is off to a bad start since it will not be able to count on around ten players, all injured, including the Japanese Kaoru Mitoma and the very experienced James Milner.
Brighton-Manchester City, a match to stay in the title race. Kick-off will take place this Thursday at 9 p.m. at the Amex Stadium, live on Canal + Foot.
