Manchester City vs Brighton – Match preview and team news
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readManchester City host Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
From the source
Manchester City host Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon. It is the second meeting between the sides in four days, after City came from behind twice to beat Brighton on penalties in the EFL Cup fourth round on Wednesday following a 2-2 draw.
Maresca’s side are clinging to top spot on goal difference after champions Arsenal drew level on points, while Hurzeler’s Brighton sit five points back in third.
City’s perfect start to the season under Maresca ended at Aston Villa last weekend, their first defeat in the league, and defensive form has become a concern: they have conceded 11 goals across their last five matches in all competitions, shipping at least two in three of those games.
