Brighton host Manchester City in the Premier League hoping to put in a similar performance to their outing against Liverpool last weekend.

Although the Seagulls lost that match 2-1 they took the lead against Arne Slot’s side and made the current league leaders work hard for their victory and will hope to replicate that against Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions. Before the Liverpool game Brighton were on a three-match unbeaten run and will hope to capitalise on a weakened City side.

Guardiola’s men defeated Southampton 1-0 at the end of October but have lost their last three games. Tottenham defeated them in the Carabao Cup before Bournemouth won 2-1 in their last Premier League outing and Ruben Amorim’s Sporting CP hammered them 4-1 in the Champions League. Can they end that streak today?

Meanwhile Man City are also in a poor patch of form, having lost their last three games in all competitions, against Tottenham in the EFL Cup, Bournemouth in the Premier League, which ended their 32-game unbeaten run in the league and most recently a 4-1 defeat away at Sporting in the Champions League.

Brighton come into today's game on the back of a three-game winless streak, after a 2-2 draw with Wolves was followed up with a 3-2 defeat against Liverpool in the EFL Cup. They then suffered another loss against Liverpool last weekend, despite leading for most of the game, they were pegged back late in the second half to lose 2-1.
