Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion Preview<\/h2>

Manchester City enter this Carabao Cup fourth round clash as defending champions, having lifted the trophy after beating Arsenal in the 2026 final. Enzo Maresca's side have won four of their last five matches across all competitions, with Phil Foden in scintillating form following a hat-trick on 20 October after returning from suspension. Erling Haaland remains a slight doubt with a foot concern, though Maresca indicated the Norwegian could feature after a training assessment.<\/p>

Brighton arrive at the Etihad in remarkable shape, boasting five consecutive victories and sitting third in the Premier League table. Their cup pedigree this season is proven: a thrilling 3-2 win over Manchester United in the previous round demonstrated real resilience and attacking quality. The Seagulls will, however, be without Antoine Semenyo, who faces up to eight weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury sustained in mid-October.<\/p>

The double chance backing City or a draw represents the strongest angle here. Manchester City's all-time head-to-head record against Brighton is formidable, with 13 victories from 19 meetings compared to just three for the Seagulls. The hosts have won four of their last five matches, and Phil Foden's hat-trick on October 20 signals a player in devastating form. The home win price at 1.70<\/a> anchors this selection comfortably.<\/p>

Brighton's credentials cannot be dismissed lightly. Five consecutive wins heading into this fixture, a third-place Premier League standing, and that spirited 3-2 elimination of Manchester United in the previous round all point to a side brimming with confidence. Their recent form suggests they could frustrate City, which is precisely why the draw at 4.30<\/a> provides valuable insurance alongside the home win.<\/p>

Erling Haaland's availability remains uncertain following a foot injury, and Antoine Semenyo is confirmed out for up to eight weeks with a knee problem. Should Haaland miss out, City's attacking potency drops considerably, making a Brighton upset more plausible. Both teams to score at 1.53<\/a> also merits consideration given Brighton's attacking quality. The 1X double chance, covered by the home odds at 1.70<\/a>, offers a balanced route into this contest.<\/p>
