Manchester City return to the Etihad Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion this Saturday, January 10, 2026, for a critical Matchday 21 encounter.
The Cityzens enter this fixture looking to maintain their pursuit of the Premier League title after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Chelsea in their previous outing.
Under Pep Guardiola, Manchester City have continued to showcase their trademark possession-based dominance. With Erling Haaland in clinical form and Kevin De Bruyne pulling the strings in midfield, City are eager to secure three points at home to keep pace with the league leaders.
However, they will be wary of Brighton’s ability to disrupt their rhythm, as they aim to avoid any slip-ups in the race for the trophy.
Brighton
Brighton & Hove Albion, led by their tactically astute manager, travel to Manchester after a convincing 2-0 win over Burnley last weekend.
The Seagulls have established themselves as one of the most exciting teams to watch in the league, known for their fearless build-up play and high-intensity pressing.
Currently fighting for a spot in European competition, Brighton will look to exploit any defensive gaps in the City backline with the pace of Kaoru Mitoma and the creativity of their midfield.
Despite being the underdogs, Brighton have a history of causing problems for the “Big Six” and will arrive at the Etihad with the ambition of securing a memorable result.
