Manchester City return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon when they play host to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Despite the widespread plaudits that they have achieved throughout the season, City head into this fixture four points adrift of leaders Arsenal and having failed to score in their most recent two games in all competitions.
However, Pep Guardiola's side have had almost a week to recover from the 1-0 defeat at Liverpool last weekend, and they will expect to return to winning ways in front of their own supporters.
