Brighton & Hove Albion Women

  • There are no known injuries.

Prediction

  • Brighton look to be the dark horse of the league this season.
  • Manchester City faced a tough test against title rivals Arsenal drawing 2-2 so they will be looking for a win here. City have won nine of 11 meetings but did lose this exact fixture last season 1-0.
  • Brighton could possibly become the second team to win back-to-back away matches against City since Arsenal in the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
  • A key player for the Seagulls looks to be Kiko Seike. She became the first player in WSL history to score a hat trick on her debut. Her link up with Fran Kirby could be a dangerous weapon against any defence. The most goals that a player has scored in their first two matches is Rachel Williams when she was at Birmingham City. She scored two on her debut and three in the next game.
  • Kiko could possibly break that and they look quite likely that they could try and cement their spot at the top here with a win.
