Manchester City will attempt to soldier on this weekend when they travel to face Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday. Pep Guardiola will be seeking a response at American Express Community Stadium after a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Ruben Amorim's Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday which has extended a rare losing streak to three across all competitions for the defending EPL titleholders.

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.

Manchester City are on a run of three straight defeats across all competition and Pep Guardiola still has doubts over several first-team stars ahead of a tricky Premier League trip to Brighton.
