Brighton (H) Pre Match Thread

For those struggling to the game from Warrington, surely the answer is to leave your car at Ladywell (Eccles) park & ride and take the Metroline tram all the way to/from the Etihad for less than a fiver.

I like the sound of this. Where is it? Just off the Motorway?

Conveniently situated right at (and on) @lionheart ’s front garden, for a very reasonable price!

Well I guess that Brighton will be looking forward to an easy ride of it today, as according to Betfair's ad on the radio for the coming weekend games, while bigging up Liverpool's start to the season, asks if 'The Champions can rediscover their goal scoring form.... Clearly we have barely scored many so far.

Opta stats

• Brighton have never won an away game against Man City in all competitions, losing six of their eight visits (D2).

• Manchester City have won 58 of a possible 63 points from their last 21 Premier League home games (W19 D1 L1).

• Brighton have won just two of their last 15 Premier League games, with both of those coming against Manchester United (D5 L8).

• Away from home, Brighton are winless in 16 Premier League games (D5 L11), scoring just seven goals in that run.

• Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 32 Premier League games kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday - only Chelsea (33 between February 2006 and February 2009) have ever had a longer unbeaten run in that kick-off slot.

• Brighton's Glenn Murray is the highest scoring English player so far in the 2018-19 Premier League (4 goals).

• Brighton's Anthony Knockaert (2 assists for Duffy) and Shane Duffy (1 assist for Knockaert) have combined for three Premier League goals so far this season, more than any other duo in the competition.

If the Eagles win today in the grand final we will win the league, it will be the case City do well, the Eagles do as well, 12 points down at half time c'mon

Eagles? Eh?

You can drive past Irlam to get to Eccles. No motorway needed.

Had a dream that we won 6-0 but KDB scored twice so I don't think it was a prophetic vision.

You really need to have a word with yourself about getting the starting eleven right for accurate slumber prognostication, our betting returns depend on it.

Do we think the Stockport Cattermole will be playing? Rest Dave for the next two huge ("massive", even!) games.

In short, no. There's a bit of me thinks he might not even make the squad today. Guardiola's way of keeping him grounded and giving time to others.
