Manchester City welcome Brighton to the Etihad Stadium on the night of Wednesday, January 7, in the English Premier League.

The hosts lost two crucial points in the title race last time out, as Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez found the net in the 94th minute to clinch a 1-1 draw, leaving Man City six points off leaders Arsenal.

However, City have been in scintillating form at home this season, winning eight from ten and scoring 26 goals.

Only Arsenal can better Man City’s 18 goals conceded, whilst no team can better Pep Guardiola’s sides’ 44 league goals scored.

The visitors will be looking to do the double over Man City for the first time in their history, having won 2-1 in the reverse fixture.

Brighton ended a six-game winless run last time out, comfortably beating relegation-threatened Burnley 2-0.

Their away form this season has been relatively poor, having won only two of ten away games, though one did come against Chelsea.
