As the title race heats up, Manchester City head into their final seven games of the season needing to maintain their winning streak to keep Liverpool at bay.
Following their last league match, a 2-2 draw between the two clubs last week, the clubs know that there is no room for error in the relentless schedule as final stretch of the race approaches. City’s next hurdle in their quest for a fourth Premier League title in five years is Brighton at the Etihad Stadium tonight (Wednesday).
Brighton, who currently sit in 10th place, represent a unique challenge for Pep Guardiola’s side. The Seagulls are a side who play a style of football not too dissimilar to that of City’s, with a possession based approach often employed by manager Graham Potter.
