Man City have fallen out of the top 4 in the Premier League rankings after a defeat to Nottingham Forest in round 28. They are 2 points behind Chelsea and must win in the hope of returning to their position to secure a ticket to the Champions League next season.
With the team competing in the top 4, Newcastle, not competing in the Premier League this weekend, this is a perfect opportunity for coach Pep Guardiola and his team.
In his coaching career, Pep Guardiola has always qualified for the Champions League. This is also the team's most important goal at the moment. If they lose at the Etihad, Brighton will surpass them in the rankings when the southern coastal team is only 1 point behind City.
Four consecutive wins in the Premier League have helped Brighton rise to 7th place, and are packed with the opportunity to qualify for the European Cup next season. The two teams are considered quite balanced, even the away team can be more confident after defeating Man City in the first leg in November 2024.
