Brighton Preview – Can Brighton spring a surprise?
The inevitable happened last time out at the AMEX Stadium as Brighton were handed a 3-1 defeat by the newly crowned Premier League champions, Liverpool, and another tough test awaits the hosts on Saturday evening with the visit of Manchester City as The Seagulls look to ruffle a few City feathers.
Brighton also suffered a heavy defeat at home to Manchester United in a 3-0 loss but in between these defeats, the hosts did post a valuable 1-0 win away from home at relegation candidates, Norwich City, which has helped ease Brighton’s relegation fears.
Indeed, an earlier stubborn sequence of just one defeat from the previous seven matches before playing Manchester United saw Brighton pick up an excellent 2-1 home win against Arsenal as well as picking up points in draws with West Ham, Watford, Sheffield United, Wolves and Leicester City – at home, 9 of Brighton’s 17 home matches have also seen both teams score.
Man City Preview – Can Man City produce another goal-fest?
Recent wins against Arsenal 3-0, Burnley 5-0, Liverpool 4-0 and the 5-0 thrashing of Newcastle United have helped hand Manchester City five league wins on the trot in the Premier League at home, but can they reproduce their free-scoring traits on the road at Brighton this Saturday evening?
City make their way down to the south coast for this upcoming clash against The Seagulls on the back of three away defeats on the trot and indeed, have lost four of their last five matches overall on their travels having suffered defeats at Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea and most surprising of all, Southampton.
Five away defeats from their last eight matches on the road is very uncharacteristic of Manchester City and one might feel they’ve switched off as they lost the league title may weeks ago but hold a nine-point lead over 3rd placed Chelsea. This may just allow Brighton to hit the back of the net themselves and perhaps spring a surprise on Pep Guardiola’s side.
