Manchester City are faced with an unfamiliar situation under Pep Guardiola's tutelage, as the Cityzens aim to avert their fourth straight loss in all competitions when they face Brighton for a Premier League meeting at the Amex on Saturday.
While City last suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Sporting in the Champions League, the Seagulls are on a winless run of their own (D1 L2) following a 2-1 league loss at Liverpool last time out.
