| Brighton have performed well in the Premier League this season, but they have a huge task ahead of them as Man. City will surely be full of anger after a disastrous defeat in the Champions League against Sporting. Pep Guardiola certainly isn't happy after this defeat, even if the 1-4 loss is not so vital for their progress in the Champions League. The stats show us that Birghton have conceded more Premier League goals against the Citizens than against any other team, without keeping a single clean sheet. Manchester City has therefore picked up a whopping 37 out of a possible 42 points in 14 matches against Brighton. Those are really impressive numbers. The team spirit and motivation of the Seagulls, who have particularly shone with impressive offensive play this season, make them dangerous. What is often missing is team work in the defence. In the last three matches, they have repeatedly struggled with defensive errors and against a team like Man. City this could be dangerous. During the last ten Premier League games the Citizens conceded the first goal in at least half of these matches. |
