How to Watch Brighton vs Man City: TV and Live Stream Options | OneFootball

Brighton vs Manchester City Preview

Pep Guardiola takes his Manchester City side to the south coast this afternoon with the champions eager to steady themselves after a stuttering start to the campaign. Brighton, meanwhile, are searching for momentum under Fabian Hurzeler and will view this fixture as a true measure of progress.

Manchester City’s Need for Response

City opened their Premier League campaign in ruthless fashion, dismantling Wolves 4-0, but that authority was swiftly challenged when Tottenham left the Etihad with a 2-0 victory. Guardiola has never hidden his expectation for consistency and will demand a sharper edge from his players as they head into a difficult away assignment.

Brighton’s Balancing Act

Brighton currently sit 18th in the table and early results have not inspired, with a 2-0 defeat at Everton followed by a 1-1 draw with Fulham. However, a 6-0 Carabao Cup win over Oxford United provided much-needed confidence. Hurzeler rotated heavily for that tie, ensuring his senior players are prepared for what will be an altogether sterner challenge against City.

New signing Stefanos Tzimas scored twice against Oxford but Hurzeler is wary of over-exposure, saying: “There are different demands in a Premier League game than the game today. He (Tzimas) came into a game where it was already 3-0 so it’s not the intensity you can expect in a Premier League game.”
