Brighton vs Man City: Premier League Clash as City Aims to End Losing Streak

Manchester City, under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, is set to face Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, November 9, in a crucial Premier League match. City is looking to avoid a historic fourth consecutive defeat, a scenario that has not occurred under Guardiola’s management since April 2018. The team has recently suffered losses to Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup, Bournemouth in the Premier League, and Sporting CP in the Champions League, conceding seven goals and scoring just three in these matches[3][5].

The match, scheduled to kick off at 5:30 p.m. GMT (12:30 p.m. ET, 9:30 a.m. PT), will be played at the Amex Stadium. Manchester City will be without key players Jack Grealish, Rúben Dias, and John Stones due to injuries. Additionally, Rodri and Oscar Bobb are also sidelined, further depleting City’s squad. However, Kevin De Bruyne, who recently returned from injury, is expected to feature, along with other key players like Kyle Walker, Jérémy Doku, and Erling Haaland[3][5].

Brighton & Hove Albion, managed by Fabian Hurzeler, are also seeking to return to winning ways after back-to-back defeats to Liverpool in the EFL Cup and the Premier League. The Seagulls have several injury concerns, including Lewis Dunk, Yankuba Minteh, and Solly March, but there is a possibility that Joao Pedro and Matt O'Riley could return for this match[5].

The match will be broadcast live on USA Network in the US, and streaming options are available through services like Sling TV and Fubo. In the UK, the match is exclusive to Sky Sports, while in Canada, it can be streamed via Fubo Canada, and in Australia, it will be available on Optus Sport[2].

Predictions suggest a high-scoring game, given the attacking prowess of both teams and their defensive vulnerabilities. Brighton have conceded more goals against Manchester City than against any other Premier League opponent, and City have kept just five clean sheets in 17 competitive games this season[4].
