Manchester City return to the Etihad on Wednesday still frustrated after letting another win slip away, having been held to a late draw by Chelsea despite dominating long spells.
Pep Guardiola's side have now gone two league games without victory, allowing Arsenal to stretch their lead at the top, and the pressure is building to respond at home against Brighton.
City's recent wobble contrasts sharply with their strong Etihad history, where they remain unbeaten in 15 Premier League home meetings with the Seagulls.
