Brighton vs Man City

Match preview

It's the first time since April 2018 that Man City have lost three games in a row, and the club are going through a rough patch, according to Bernardo Silva. Pep Guardiola has a different take, but the Citizens are still reeling from a disappointing week across three different competitions.

Man City lost 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur (EFL Cup) and Bournemouth (Premier League) before being beaten 4-1 by Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League on Tuesday night. That result ended City's record-breaking 26-game unbeaten run in the competition, which was set under the management of Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola says he's up for the challenge at Man City. The team will be looking to turn things around and end the international break on a high by beating Brighton this weekend. If they win, they'll be back at the top of the Premier League table, but only for a few hours if Liverpool beat Aston Villa on Saturday evening.

City's defeat at Bournemouth last weekend – which ended their club-record 32-game unbeaten league run – saw them slip to second in the top-flight standings, with Arne Slot's in-form Liverpool moving two points clear at the summit after beating Brighton 2-1 at Anfield.
