Manchester City host a red-hot Brighton side that has scored 23 goals in just 8 matches and arrives on a 4-game winning streak including a stunning 3-0 victory over Arsenal. City, despite leading the table, showed defensive vulnerabilities in their last 5 games, conceding in 4 of them including both goals against Aston Villa in their only loss. Brighton's exceptional attacking output (16 goals scored across their last 4 wins) versus City's recent defensive fragility creates a compelling tactical battle.
