Manchester City are looking for a response against Brighton in the Premier League today.
While there is still so much football left to play this season, the standards set by all of Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal over the last few years mean any dropped points could prove fatal.
Pep Guardiola’s side were beaten 2-1 at Bournemouth last time out in the League and fell to a 4-1 loss away at Sporting in the Champions League on Tuesday as a difficult run continues.
The Seagulls, meanwhile, impressed in their 2-1 defeat at Liverpool and will be ruing their missed the chances at Anfield.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
