Manchester City has lost three straight games for the first time in more than six years ahead of Saturday’s trip to Brighton.
Pep Guardiola is attempting to avoid suffering four consecutive defeats for the first time as Manchester City manager when he takes his team to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. The Citizens slumped to an embarrassing 4-1 defeat at Sporting CP in the Champions League on Tuesday, with soon-to-be Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim bagging the ideal result over his new adversary. Guardiola has tasted three straight losses for only the fourth time in his managerial career, and the Seagulls have the tool to inflict more damage in their bid to knock City further from the Premier League peak.

City’s slump slid to new depths in midweek following losses to Tottenham and Bournemouth in the League Cup and Premier League, respectively.
Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres netted a hat-trick in what was an almost poetic performance in Amorim’s European farewell before he takes up the reins at Old Trafford:
City became the last team in the Premier League to lose its undefeated status last Saturday after Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson scored to complete a 2-1 win for Bournemouth.
It’s not unrealistic to suggest City is entering desperation status, with the club evidently struggling to adapt without injured Ballon d’Or-winner Rodri in the lineup.
Fabian Hurzeler will look to become the latest manager to expose that weakness, with fourth place at stake from Brighton if the south-coast club can stage another upset.
The Seagulls lost 4-0 at home to City when these teams met at the Amex last season, but Brighton will be hopeful of a more rigid response following successive narrow defeats to Liverpool.
