He said securing a victory against Brighton is imperative for Manchester City as they strive for their fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Manchester City currently occupy third place in the league standings, trailing second-placed Liverpool by just one point and league leaders Arsenal by four points.

“Brighton away if you put in my calendar is always one of the toughest ones for the way they play.
