Team News

Man City
Brighton
  • Manchester City suffered no fresh injury concerns following their 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest last week.
  • That leaves Rodri, Manuel Akanji, John Stones, Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb in the physio room.
  • Pep Guardiola may make changes to his XI for the welcome of Brighton, with Mateo Kovacic, Rico Lewis, Omar Marmoush and Kevin De Bruyne potentially coming into the side.
  • Ederson was at fault for Callum Hudson-Odoi's winning goal but should keep his spot between the sticks.
  • Tariq Lamptey returns from a ban and should start at right-back, with Jack Hinshelwood moving back into midfield.
  • Matt O'Riley is a doubt with a knee issue, though he may not return until after the international break.
  • Fabian Hurzeler is without six players for the trip to the Etihad Stadium, though Joel Veltman and Lewis Dunk are close to returning for the Seagulls.

Prediction

  • Manchester City saw their top-four hopes suffer a blow as they lost 1-0 at Nottingham Forest last weekend. City have won three of their last four home league games, with the sole blip on the record a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in their last league game at the Etihad Stadium.
  • Brighton have been relentless since their 7-0 loss at Nottingham Forest last month, with a late 2-1 win over Fulham last weekend extending their winning run to six matches. The Seagulls have lost their last eight trips to the Etihad, however.
  • Brighton have won five of their last six away matches, and they may just end their City hoodoo with a narrow victory on Saturday afternoon.

  • BTTS - 1.52 | Brighton has won last 6 games in a row now, City has lost 2 of last 3 premier league games now.

  • goals, Brighton will allow even that boring predictable crap to score 1-2 goals and will score themselves similar number. bts+over

  • Brighton will play a high defensive line which Man City will exploit 'getting in behind'.There will certainly be goals in this game.

  • Over 2.5 goals.

  • แมนซิตี้ ถึงแม้จะเล่นไม่ค่อยดีแต่ตอนนี้ท้ายฤดูกาล ได้เล่นในบ้านตัวเอง แมนซิต้องการไปยูฟ่าเท่านั้น วันนี้แมนซิตี้ 3-1

  • City are no more what they are used to be in the last couple of years. Now any team can draw or beat them. However I bet for them to beat Brighton should Marmoush start.

  • BTTS

  • 2-1

  • over 1.5 first half goals
