A beleaguered Manchester City travels to Brighton & Hove Albion for a Premier League clash this Saturday.
Pep Guardiola’s side has gone off the boil after a bright start to the season. They come into the match on the back of three straight defeats. After Tottenham Hotspur knocked City out of the EFL Cup, Bournemouth handed them the first league defeat of the season. In a UEFA Champions League clash mid-week, City was stunned 4-1 by Sporting.
While the defending champions have slipped to No 2 in the league standings, an inconsistent Brighton is currently eighth with four wins and four defeats from their 10 matches so far.
