Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side is set for a pivotal clash against Brighton & Hove Albion this Sunday, as they look to rebound from recent setbacks and reignite their Premier League campaign. The trip to the Amex Stadium holds particular significance, with City aiming to secure their first victory over Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler, a feat that eluded them last season.
The memory of their last visit to the Amex still lingers for City fans, a come-from-behind defeat that sparked a challenging conclusion to their 2024 season. The reverse fixture earlier this year saw both teams share the spoils, highlighting the competitive nature of this matchup.
Goals are often a hallmark of this fixture, and both teams enter Sunday’s encounter following 2-0 defeats in their most recent Premier League outings. While Brighton bounced back with an emphatic win in the Carabao Cup, City enjoyed a break, witnessing Manchester United’s humbling defeat at Blundell Park.

Manchester City will dive straight into the season’s first Manchester derby, hosting fierce rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.
