Brighton vs Manchester City Match Preview

Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, face a challenging moment as they attempt to avoid a four-game losing streak—a first under Guardiola. Fresh from defeats to Tottenham, Bournemouth, and Sporting Lisbon, MC are eager to bounce back. Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion, led by Fabian Hurzeler, aim to recover after back-to-back losses against Liverpool in both the Premier League and EFL Cup.

A win for City would temporarily take them back to the top of the league, although Liverpool could reclaim the position later on Saturday evening if they beat Aston Villa. Brighton, currently eighth in the league, are unbeaten at home this season and look to make it a tough outing for City.
