City still lead the table on 21 points, but back-to-back league defeats have turned a comfortable start into a real wobble.
Brighton won 1-0 at the Etihad on October 31, with Yasin Ayari scoring in the 11th minute. That followed a 2-1 loss at Aston Villa. Haaland keeps scoring and City average 2.2 goals a game, but the team is leaking chances at the back. Antoine Semenyo is out until around December with a knee injury, which thins the attack.
