Manchester City looks to bounce back from a disappointing season as they prepare to host Brighton and Hove Albion at the Etihad Stadium. Currently struggling with nine defeats this season, City risks falling to 8th place if they lose, while Brighton aims to leapfrog into 5th with a win. Brighton arrives with excellent form, boasting six consecutive victories, and is led by the in-form Joao Pedro. Their manager, Fabian Hürzeler, has achieved notable success in his first season, maintaining a win rate of 50%.
Brighton sit two points behind City in 7th place and victory over the Blues on Saturday afternoon would see them leapfrog City into fifth place.
Joao Pedro is the man leading the Brighton charge with eight goals so far, making the message very clear to City - Stop Pedro.
Fabian Hürzeler has impressed in his first season in charge, achieving a win ratio of an impressive 50% with 17 wins in 34 matches.
The two teams met in November, with Brighton running out 2-1 winners, showcasing their ability to compete against City.
