A match full of surprises

Looking to avoid a fourth straight defeat under Pep Guardiola, Manchester City travel to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League.

The Seagulls are also trying to find victory after losing their last two matches against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup and Premier League.

Latest Brighton vs Man City team information

Brighton will be without Solly March (ACL), James Milner and Adam Webster (thigh) until after the international break, but Hurzeler confirmed that Joao Pedro and Matt O'Riley have a "great chance" of being included in the squad after missing time with ankle injuries.

Lewis Dunk (calf) and Yankuba Minteh (muscle) are both doubtful and will be assessed before kick-off, while Yasin Ayari (ankle) "could be an option for the weekend" after coming off against Liverpool with an ankle problem. Carlos Baleba did not play at Anfield with a knee injury, but he could return against Man City.

In-form striker Danny Welbeck has scored six goals in 10 Premier League games this season, but he has never scored in his previous 19 appearances against Man City. However, he is still expected to start up front alongside Georginio Rutter and Kaoru Mitoma.

For Man City, Rodri (ACL) and Oscar Bobb (broken leg) continue to be absent long-term, while Ruben Dias, John Stones and Jack Grealish all have unspecified problems and could return after the international break.

After nine games out injured, Kevin De Bruyne has returned to the squad for the last two games and came on as a substitute against Sporting. However, the midfielder is unlikely to start on Saturday as he continues his recovery, but could come on as a substitute.

Guardiola will have to consider whether to select Kyle Walker or Rico Lewis at right-back, while 19-year-old Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, who made his first start for City on Tuesday, could be replaced by Nathan Ake at centre-back.

Jeremy Doku will be hoping to start after making two substitute appearances since returning from injury, while Erling Haaland is expected to continue leading the line despite scoring just once in his last five Premier League games and also missing a penalty in the Champions League in midweek.

Latest expected lineup for Brighton vs Man City

Brighton & Hove Albion:

Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Igor, Estupinan; Kadioglu, Hinshelwood, Baleba, Mitoma; Rutter, Welbeck

Manchester City:

Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Gundogan; Savinho, Foden, Doku; Haaland

Latest Brighton vs Man City football review

For the first time since April 2018, Man City have suffered three consecutive defeats, and according to Bernardo Silva, the team are in a “dark situation”. However, Pep Guardiola disagrees, but Man City are still feeling the effects of a disappointing week in three different competitions.

Man City lost 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur (Carabao Cup) and Bournemouth (Premier League), then were beaten 4-1 by Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League on Tuesday night, with Ruben Amorim, the incoming Manchester United manager, ending Man City's 26-match unbeaten run in the competition.

Guardiola insists he is ready for a "tough challenge" at City, and the team will be determined to end their losing streak heading into the international break with a win over Brighton this weekend. A win would see City return to the top of the Premier League, albeit for just a few hours if current leaders Liverpool beat Aston Villa on Saturday night.

Defeat to Bournemouth last weekend - which ended the team's 32-match unbeaten run in the Premier League - left Man City in second place in the table, while Arne Slot's Liverpool moved two points clear at the top after beating Brighton 2-1 at Anfield.

Although Man City's squad is seriously lacking and the defense is also having big problems, the team has reason to be optimistic when facing Brighton at the weekend, because they won 37 points from a possible 42 when meeting Brighton in the Premier League (W12 D1 L1).

Brighton have had a difficult week, losing 3-2 to Liverpool in the EFL Cup and losing again to Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend, despite a commendable performance at Anfield.

New signing Ferdi Kadioglu opened the scoring for Brighton, but they then let Liverpool turn the game around with two consecutive goals in just 128 seconds from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah, eventually Brighton had to accept a 2-1 defeat, ending their unbeaten run this season.

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler said the team missed a "huge opportunity" to beat Liverpool and demanded his players perform at their maximum level if they want to win against big teams in the future.

Brighton have dropped 10 points from leading positions this season, just four fewer than they did in the whole of last season. They are unbeaten in five games at the Amex this season (W2 D3); only in 1982-83 were they on a longer unbeaten start to a season (7). However, maintaining that unbeaten run at the weekend will not be easy, having lost 13 of their last 15 meetings with Man City in all competitions, most recently a 4-0 home defeat in April.

Could a high-profile Premier League clash await? Both of these attacking sides pose a threat at the back, while their defences are vulnerable. Brighton have conceded more goals against Man City (40) than any other Premier League side, while Man City have kept just five clean sheets in 17 competitive games this season.

Man City cannot afford to fall too far behind Liverpool at the top of the table, or let Arsenal close the gap at the top, but with a tired and underperforming squad at the moment, they may just have to settle for a draw with Brighton this time around.
