Brighton – Manchester City

Brighton travel to the Amex Stadium eager to close the gap on the top three, sitting fourth with seven points from four games – two wins, a draw and a loss, and a healthy 13‑5 goal difference. Their hosts will face a Manchester City side that has already amassed twelve points, having won all four of its fixtures and boasting an impressive 8‑2 tally. City’s perfect record and defensive solidity will test Brighton’s attacking flair, especially after the Seagulls’ three‑goal advantage over their opponents so far this season. A win for Brighton could see them leapfrog into the top three, while City will look to cement second place and keep the pressure on league leaders. The clash promises a stark contrast in form, making it a pivotal encounter for both clubs.
