Brighton vs Man City Preview
The Premier League fixture of Brighton vs Man City promises to be a thrilling encounter. Man City are the favorites to go on and win the Premier League title race amidst a decent competition from Liverpool and Arsenal. However, a trip to Brighton promises to be one of those tricky fixtures where Pep Guardiola’s side wouldn’t want to drop points.
City currently sits at the third spot in the league’s table with 73 points to its tally, one point behind Liverpool and Arsenal, having played a game less than both of them. A win at Brighton could see them rising once again to the top of the table and piling the pressure upon the Gunners and the Reds.
On the other hand, Brighton has struggled to rake up a decent run of results in recent times. Their dream for European football for the next season is fizzling out after their inconsistent form in the league. However, if they somehow manage to grab an exemplary number of wins in their remaining fixtures, mathematically a spot for Europe is still possible.
