Manchester City must his afternoon get back to winning ways as they resume their Premier League title defence against Brighton.
For the first time since December 2018, Pep Guardiola’s side have lost two consecutive games in the League, offering Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool hope in the title race.

Such has been his impact on the south coast, Seagulls boss Roberto De Zerbi has even been tipped as a potential success to Guardiola at City.
