Manchester City will look to crank up the pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal when Brighton visit the Etihad on Wednesday evening.

Ad

Pep Guardiola's side have lost ground in recent weeks due to back-to-back draws against Sunderland and Chelsea but can cut the gap at the top of the table to three points ahead of the Gunners' clash with Liverpool on Thursday.

Man City will be forced to shake things up at the back after Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias were added to their list of absent defenders.

Brighton will hope to capitalise on those injury issues after earning a timely victory against Burnley at the Amex on Saturday. The Seagulls had gone six games without a win ahead of their triumph over the Clarets.

Fabian Hurzeler's team can get comfortable in Manchester. The visitors are away at Man City in midweek and then take on Man Utd at the FA Cup on Sunday.
