Manchester City vs. Brighton Preview

Manchester City

City was defeated in Nottingham and that complicates their plans for this season. Even though EPL will give five teams to the next Champions League edition, the Citizens aren’t safe anymore because Newcastle, Brighton, Bournemouth, and Aston Villa aim to reach the elite continental competition.

That said, this game will be of huge importance because it won’t be worth three points, yet double, as you meet the direct rivals for that fifth place.

City’s home games are extremely efficient, and seven of the last eight have seen over 3.5 goals. However, compared to previous seasons, Guardiola’s machinery isn’t always winning.

Brighton

Brighton has six wins in a row, and the Seagulls are looking exquisite. They have again started to play openly and offensively, pressuring and beating the rivals through hard and relentless attacks. So, it’s no wonder why this team netted at least twice in all of their recent victories.

Young manager Hürzeler made a team in which everyone could score. They have three guys with seven or more goals in the Premiership – Joao Pedro, Danny Welbeck and Kaoru Mitoma.

Brighton lost only once on the road in the previous nine outings. Apart from that, they had five victories in the last six road contests, with them beating United at Trafford and eliminating Newcastle from the FA Cup at St. James’ Park.
