Today (Saturday), Manchester City will play host to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League.
Manchester City can close the gap to the table-toppers with a win tonight as Arsenal won’t play until Sunday.
Brighton’s most recent victory came in September under Graham Potter, who is currently Chelsea’s manager, and they have lost their previous four Premier League games.
With a determined performance against Liverpool, Robert De Zerbi has already given a clear indication of what can be anticipated from his team.
If Manchester City survives another shock, their recent hangover might linger a little longer.
Brighton is in an excellent situation, holding down the eighth spot despite their recent calamities.
And today’s performance should boost their spirits even further.
De Zerbi’s team has struggled to turn possession into goals, and they cannot afford to lose any more ground in their fight for a European position.
