Brighton vs Man City: Premier League match stream, team news, lineups, TV, prediction today

Man City face Brighton in crucial Premier League clash, chasing fourth consecutive title. Guardiola's side without Haaland, but remain strong contenders.

Manchester City is gearing up to face Brighton in the Premier League title race, with Pep Guardiola's team currently trailing leaders Arsenal by four points. Despite this, City holds two games in hand on the Gunners and Liverpool's challenge has faded away.

The defending champions are favored to secure an unprecedented fourth consecutive English title, although they are facing defensive challenges and are missing star striker Erling Haaland due to injury.

Brighton, on the other hand, has the potential to defeat any team on their day, although they have not consistently shown this ability under Roberto De Zerbi this season. This match against Brighton is considered one of the tougher fixtures left for City, adding pressure to the title race.

Guardiola confirmed Haaland's absence due to a muscle problem, while the future of Joao Cancelo, who has had loan spells at Bayern Munich and Barcelona, remains uncertain.

Despite the challenges, City has a strong track record in title run-ins and is expected to perform well. The team is also without Evan Ferguson, Billy Gilmour, James Milner, and Adam Webster due to injury, although they may be making progress in their returns.

The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Sports Ultra HDR, with coverage starting at 7pm. Stay tuned for live updates on Standard Sport's dedicated match blog as City faces Brighton in the Premier League clash.
