Albion play Manchester City twice in four days at the Etihad

Brighton & Hove Albion^1,2,3,4 go to Manchester City twice this week. The Carabao Cup fourth round is at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday at 7.30pm, live on Sky Sports⁵+. On Saturday they go back to play the Premier League leaders at 3pm.

Albion are unbeaten in their last four games against City, with two wins and two draws, Sky Sports said. Wednesday will be only the second time the clubs have met in the League Cup. The first was at Withdean in 2008, when Albion drew 2-2 and won on penalties.

Diego Gomez, the 23-year-old Paraguay midfielder, sat out last week’s Conference League draw with FK Jablonec so that he would be ready for these two games.

“The coach spoke to me and said he wanted to keep me back more for these matches,” he said.

He added: “But now I feel really fresh to tackle these games which are coming and which are very important.”

He said Albion had plenty of the ball in the first half of Sunday’s game at Anfield. “We were just missing some clarity on the final pass but we are already thinking about the next games and how to improve.”

If you have a ticket for Saturday and can’t go, you can sell it back through the club’s resale until 9am on Thursday. The fee is 10% of the ticket price, and resold tickets go on sale as adult tickets once the game sells out.
