Manchester City faces off against Brighton in an upcoming Premier League match this Thursday.
Manchester City recently secured their spot in the FA Cup final and are now turning their focus back to the Premier League. They currently hold a slight lead in the title race.
Last weekend, Manchester City clinched a victory against Chelsea with a late goal by Bernardo Silva.
However, they temporarily slipped from the top spot in the league table as Arsenal and Liverpool moved ahead by a single point.
Manchester City now has a game in hand and must capitalize on every opportunity to maintain their position at the top.
Brighton, currently sitting in 10th place in the Premier League, do not have much at stake in the remaining matches.
With England’s grip on an extra Champions League place loosening, Brighton’s hopes for European qualification have dwindled. They are six points behind sixth-placed Newcastle with only six games remaining.
While Manchester City has been struggling to score goals recently, facing Brighton might provide them with an opportunity to break their goal drought.
Other top clubs have found success against Brighton, with Arsenal securing a 3-0 victory and Liverpool winning 2-1 in recent encounters.
Brighton, although they would like to play spoiler, may not push too hard against Manchester City given their position in the league.
With little to play for in the season’s final stretch, they might not risk everything if they face tough moments during the match.
