Manchester City, Recent FormThe Manchester City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Liverpool recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. In that game they had 64% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Liverpool who had 13 attempts and 2 on target.
Manager Pep Guardiola will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 20 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 19 games in a row. With 5 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 9 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 11 games.
Erling Haaland will be looking forward to more goals after clocking up an impressive 9 goals in the past 6 league matches for Brentford.
Brighton & Hove Albion, Recent FormBrighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Nottingham Forest. They came away from that fixture with a possession stat of 70% and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Nottingham Forest, who managed 3 attempts on goal, 0 of which were on target.
De Zerbi will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
With 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Leandro Trossard has given the travelling Brighton & Hove Albion support something to shout about on the road.
After a good 3-0 win for Manchester City in this pair's last league encounter, Brighton & Hove Albion will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Man City will be looking to extend their current run of 4 clean sheets against The Seagulls at The Etihad Stadium. Man City will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Seagulls having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 10 meetings. In their recent meetings Brighton have struggled to keep The Citizens at bay, having conceded 15 goals in their last 5 games.
Man City has had a good run of league results at home to Brighton, winning their last 5 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 5.
Man City player Phil Foden will be feeling confident about recording goals against Brighton ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 5 goals from their last 5 meetings.
Man City manager Pep Guardiola has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kalvin Phillips (Shoulder), John Stones (Hamstring) and Kyle Walker (Abdominal) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Kaoru Mitoma (Ankle) and Jakub Moder (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Roberto De Zerbi will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
