Brighton is 17th on the Premier League table. Manchester City leads the pack with 95 points after 37 matches.
Two vital draws against Arsenal and Newcastle handed Brighton the opportunity to continue in the Premier League after almost falling into the relegation zone. The Seagulls are without a win in their last 10 matches in all competition. Their last victory in the Premier League came via a 2-1 scoreline away to Crystal Palace back in March.
Brighton's form at home ranks as the sixth worse in the Premier League as it has managed just six wins from 18 matches. Five have ended in defeats while seven have been draws.
Against a Manchester City side that has the second best away record in the league and is just a win away from the title, the above is certainly not a bit of statistic that might suggest an impending upset at the Amex Stadium. Pep Guardiola's side has been defeated just thrice in 18 away matches, recording 13 wins and two draws.
A quest for a back-to-back win of the Premiership has seen the Citizens mount an impressive charge that has seen them register 14 wins in succession. Their last defeat came against Newcastle in January.
The two sides recently met in an FA Cup semi-final and Gabriel Jesus' 4th-minute strike for Man City proved to be the only difference. Since 1924, City and Brighton have met 21 times.
The former has won 12 while the latter has five wins. There have been four draws between them.
For Brighton, Davy Propper remains a doubt as he is yet to recover from a thigh injury. Jose Izquierdo is out with a knee injury. Fernandinho is gradually nearing full fitness after sustaining a knee injury. Kevin De Bruyne and Claudio Bravo will both sit out the game.
