Manchester City, typically dominant in March pursuits, now face a unique challenge as they find themselves outside the top four amid unexpected struggles.
This season, Manchester City’s ambitions differ from their customary title chase, and they unexpectedly occupy a lower spot in the league table. Their current form marks their worst-ever season under Pep Guardiola since his arrival in 2016/17.
Last weekend, Nottingham Forest defeated City with a narrow 1-0 result, which clearly highlighted their surprising vulnerability. Nevertheless, the upcoming fixture against Brighton might offer a glimmer of hope for the home side.
City have long excelled at home. They have dominated these fixtures, and they remain undefeated in fourteen encounters. This stands as the highest number of home matches against a single opponent without a loss.
However, City have already suffered three home defeats this season. This equals the total conceded over the past three campaigns. Consequently, there is a risk they might experience back-to-back home setbacks—a scenario not seen since May 2021.
Brighton, on the other hand, are eager to create their own history. They have never won an away head-to-head fixture against City, nor have they completed a league double over them. Yet, after winning the reverse fixture 2-1 in November, they now have a chance to achieve this milestone, marking the 15th season the two teams have shared the same division.
Moreover, Brighton currently enjoy the league’s longest ongoing winning streak of four games. This record ties with their best performance in top-flight history. In addition, they have won their last six games in all competitions. However, their away record against the other top five teams remains winless. This could hamper their ability to extend the winning run.
Turning to individual performances, Erling Haaland stands on the brink of a remarkable achievement. He needs one more goal contribution in his next six matches to be the first player to reach this milestone under 100 appearances. Similarly, João Pedro has scored in his last three league games for Brighton, and no Brighton player has managed four consecutive league goals.
Finally, it is worth noting that Manchester City’s home league games have produced an average of 2.23 goals before half-time. This statistic underscores the team’s attacking prowess and sets the stage for an intriguing fixture against Brighton.
