In the interim, we’ve played two crucial cup ties with Real Madrid and Chelsea, with the latter seeing us through to another FA Cup final.

That weekend trip to Wembley saw title challengers Arsenal and Liverpool go back above us, with City now one point behind the two sides with a game in hand.

Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp’s teams will both play before we visit the AMEX but we know that victories in all of our last six games will see us lift a record fourth successive title.

Brighton go into the game comfortably in mid table with 44 points from 32 games.

Ahead of our latest test, we were back training in the spring sunshine at the City Football Academy.

Haaland and Foden are both absent, the specific reason is currently unknown.
