LAST TIME OUT
City paid for a poor first 45 minutes against Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
But despite trailing 3-0, the Blues put in a spirited second-half and were unfortunate to lose the game 3-2.
Brighton followed up an impressive 1-0 win at Arsenal with an equally impressive 1-0 win away to Spurs, with Leandro Trossard grabbing the winner on 90 minutes.
PREVIOUS MEETING
City made it nine wins from our past 12 matches in all competitions with a 4-1 win away at Brighton to move into second in the Premier League table back in October 2021.
First-half goals from Ilkay Gundogan and two from Phil Foden put City in total control.
An Alexis Mac Allister penalty with ten minutes remaining cut the arrears, but Riyad Mahrez‘s expert finish in injury time sealed the victory.
