Brighton travel to Manchester City this afternoon hoping to extend their impressive winning run.
The Seagulls have won six straight games in all competitions, a club record as a top-flight side. Brighton’s good form has carried Fabian Hurzeler’s side into the race for Champions League qualification and secured progress to the FA Cup quarter-finals.
With maiden silverware and Champions League football realistic aims for the run-in, it could be a dream debut season for the Premier League’s youngest-ever permanent manager. Currently seventh, a first-ever victory at the Etihad will see Brighton move above Manchester City and level on points with Chelsea in fourth.
