Your support makes all the difference.Manchester City host Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League this evening.
Pep Guardiola’s side still have the upper hand in the title race but know any slip-up could prove fatal as the season enters its home straight.
City passed their hardest remaining test when they drew 2-2 with Liverpool last time out in the league, although they will have been disappointed not to take all three points after a commanding performance.
That result was followed by defeat against Jurgen Klopp’s side in the FA Cup semi-final and City cannot afford to let that lost chance at silverware hinder their momentum in the title race.
Brighton meanwhile come into the fixture in much-improved form having beaten Arsenal and Tottenham in back-to-back games.
