Match Facts
Manchester City have won 10 of their 12 Premier League meetings with Brighton (D1 L1). The only exceptions have been in May 2021 (2-3) and May 2023 (1-1), having already become champions at the time of those matches.
Brighton have never won an away league game against Manchester City (D2 L11), losing their last nine visits in a row by an aggregate score of 24-3.
Manchester City have scored at least once in 25 of their 26 league games against Brighton, with the only exception being a 0-0 draw in November 1984 at the Goldstone Ground.
There have been 37 goals scored in Brighton’s league matches this season (21 for and 16 against), the second-most of any side in Europe’s big five leagues, after Granada in LaLiga (38).
Manchester City have lost consecutive league matches for the first time since December 2018, last losing three games in a row in the Premier League back in February-March 2016 under Manuel Pellegrini. Indeed, Pep Guardiola has lost three league games in a row just once before in his managerial career – with Bayern Munich in May 2015.
Brighton have both scored and conceded in each of their eight games in the Premier League this season, in addition to their final four games last season. There have been two previous instances of a team scoring and conceding in their first nine games in a campaign in the competition – Middlesbrough in 2000-01 and Leicester City in 2015-16, when the Foxes won the title.
Manchester City have won each of their last 20 games in all competitions at the Etihad Stadium, a run that started against Chelsea in the FA Cup in January. With a win against Brighton, they will set a new record for the longest home winning run in all competitions by a Premier League side, surpassing Manchester United’s run of 20 games between December 2010 and September 2011.
Manchester City's Phil Foden has scored in all five of his Premier League starts against Brighton (6 goals in total). Indeed, he's been involved in more goals against the Seagulls than any other opponent in his league career so far (7 – 6 goals, 1 assist).
Brighton’s goal kicks have ended in their own penalty area 96% of the time in the Premier League this season (53/55), the highest percentage of any side. The average distance the ball travels for their goal kicks is 8.1 metres, with the next lowest side being Manchester United at 19.2 metres. Comparatively, the average distance of Manchester City’s goal kicks is 39.2 metres, with 36% of their goal kicks ending in their own penalty area.
Erling Haaland has failed to score in consecutive league matches for Manchester City, attempting just one shot across those two matches, after recording 31 shots from his first six games this season. Haaland has never failed to score in three consecutive Premier League games.
