Man.City face Brighton in bid to grab EPL’s top 4 spot, Arsenal meet Chelsea

Manchester City face a crucial clash with Brighton as the pressure mounts in the race to finish in the Premier League's top four.

Arsenal's faint title hopes will be effectively over if they lose to Chelsea, while Wolves can take a giant step towards securing their survival.

Ruben Dias has challenged spluttering Manchester City to make one last push to salvage their miserable season by qualifying for the Champions League.

City slumped to their ninth league defeat of the season last weekend, losing 1-0 at third-placed Nottingham Forest.

It is the first time since 2019-20 that City, champions in the last four seasons before this term, have suffered so many losses in a top-flight campaign.

With City languishing in fifth place, Portugal centre-back Dias knows Pep Guardiola’s men cannot afford many more slip-ups as they aim to reach the Champions League for the 5th successive season.

Finishing in the top four guarantees a place in Europe's elite club competition, while fifth place could be enough depending on the results of the remaining English clubs in continental action this season.
