Brighton continue in top-4 and it seems they are extremely difficult to beat this season. Last 3 games however are drawn, the last of them very deservedly against Norwich, and in the bigger picture Brighton have overperformed their expected goals as the picture below shows.

In fact it seems that they should only have 10 points instead of the 15, and be somewhere in the midtable.

There are injuries too. Midfielder Alzate, striker Welbeck and cb Webster are out.

Man City was previewed midweek for the CL-game away at Brugge, and they truly delivered! In the league they won over Burnley last time, they are third in the table with a 16-3 goal difference, their undeserved shock loss to Tottenham on opening round hinders them not to be on top which is where they clearly belong accorfing to xG-data.

The performances are reaching top levels, and when they do the Cityzens will be unbeatable both in England and also in the future. The only absentee is winger Ferran Torres, but if there is any team in the world who can replace players it is City.

However this is not free money with this handicap, they have won only 3 of their 8 league games by this handicap, although it should be 4. Yet it has to be noted that they have met all the top teams already, and I do not count Brighton to belong to top-6.

0-2

布莱顿继续排在前四，这个赛季似乎很难击败他们。然而最近的三场比赛都是平局，最后一场是对阵诺维奇，这是他们应得的。从更大的角度来看，布莱顿的表现超出了他们的预期，如下图所示。

事实上，他们应该只有10分，而不是15分，并处于中游。

还有人受伤。中场阿尔扎特、前锋维尔贝克和韦伯斯特缺阵。

曼城在周中预演了cl客场对布鲁日的比赛，他们真的做到了!在上赛季的联赛中他们战胜了伯恩利，他们以16-3的净胜球差排在积分榜的第三位，他们在第一轮不应该的输给了热刺，这使得他们不能排在榜首，而根据xg的数据，他们显然属于榜首。

他们的表演达到了顶级水平，当他们这样做的时候，城市人将在英格兰和未来都是不可战胜的。唯一缺阵的是边锋费兰·托雷斯，但如果说世界上有哪支球队能取代球员的话，那一定是曼城。

然而，他们只赢了他们的8场联赛中的3场，虽然它应该是4场。但需要注意的是，他们已经和所有的顶级球队见过面了，我不认为布莱顿属于前6名。
