Match Preview

It has been a testing period for Pep Guardiola and his Man City side, as the club have suffered three successive defeats across all competitions. A humbling night in Portugal in midweek resulted in a 4-1 loss against Sporting Lisbon.

Brighton have shown plenty of improvement already this term, but their inconsistency could become a concern in terms of their bid for a European finish this season. The Seagulls come into the round after failing to win in their last two matches.

Brighton’s poor defensive record against City deserves closer attention this weekend. The Seagulls have conceded more goals against this weekend’s rivals than they have against any other team in the competition. Furthermore, Brighton are yet to keep a clean sheet in 14 previous matches against City.

City’s record against Brighton in the Premier League is staggering, picking up 37 points from a possible 42 against their rivals. In fact, the only points that they dropped did come at the Amex in the forms of a 3-2 defeat in 2021, and a 1-1 draw in 2023.

Brighton will need to be more defensively savvy against the reigning champions this weekend. The Seagulls have already dropped ten points from winning positions in the Premier League this season. That is only four fewer than they managed in the entirety of last season.

Man City’s 32-game unbeaten sequence was ended against Bournemouth last weekend. However, City have only lost back-to-back matches in the Premier League under Guardiola on three previous occasions.
