Manchester City’s Phil Foden has been involved in five goals in his three Premier League starts against Brighton & Hove Albion, scoring four and assisting one. The 21-year-old has scored more PL goals against the Seagulls than he has any other side in the competition (four).
Man City have won each of their last 18 Premier League matches on a Wednesday – only Liverpool have had a longer winning run on a specific day of the week (21 on Saturdays between 2018 and 2020).
Brighton won 1-0 at Liverpool last season and could become just the third team to win away against the reigning Premier League champions in consecutive seasons after Tottenham Hotspur (v Leicester City in 2016/17 and Chelsea in 2017/18) and Liverpool (v Manchester United in 2000/01 and 2001/02).
Leandro Trossard has scored six PL goals for Brighton this season, his best return in a single campaign. The Belgian opened the scoring against Arsenal and netted the Seagulls’ winner against Spurs in the last two matches, with no Brighton player ever scoring in three consecutive Premier League away games before.
