Brighton vs Manchester City Prediction: Sky blues need a win

City fans are in uncharted territory. For the first time in over a decade, they find themselves no sure of a win in the Premier League. 3 losses in a row across three competitions and with a stubborn Brighton & Hove Albion next, anything could happen. 

Here are a few markets to consider adding to your bet slip...

Injury News

Brighton are without Matt O'Riley (Ankle), Joao Pedro (Ankle), Solly March (Muscle), James Milner, Adam Webster (Knock), Yankuba Minteh, & Lewis Dunk (Muscle).

Pep's City will be boosted by the return of creative maestro Kevin De Bruyne. However, they're still without Oscar Bobb (Leg), Rodri (Knee), Jack Grealish, Ruben Dias, and John Stones.

Brighton Predicted Line-up (4-4-2): Verbruggen; Veltman, van Hecke, Julio, Estupinan, Kadioglu, Beleba, Hinshelwood, Mitoma, Rutter, Welbeck.

Manchester City Predicted Line-up (4-1-4-1): Ederson; Gvardiol, Ake, Akanji, Lewis, Kovacic, Nunes, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Sliva, Haaland.

Double Chance - Home or Draw 19/20

History between these two, favours Manchester City, they have no losses against Brighton in their six previous meetings. Brighton have failed to keep a clean sheet against this opponent in their last 16 meetings and counting. City have opened the scoring in 10 out of their last 10 matches in this fixture.

History favours the sky blue, however, current form may shine kindly on the Brighton. They have no wins in their last three, while city registered three straight losses in all competitions. Including losses away to Tottenham, Bournemouth and Sporting. These three loses now mean that City have one away win out of their last five away matches. This will also be another away game for them before they return to the Etihad to face Tottenham Hotspurs.

Brighton on other had have lost two out of their last three matches across all competitions. Two of those matches were losses to Arne Slot's Liverpool. Before those back to back games they have no losses in three, beating Tottenham by three goals to two, edging Newcastle by one goal away from home and playing out to a two all draw at home against Wolves.

Brighton are full of goals at the moment. They scored three against Liverpool across their last two matches. This is impressive when considering that the reds have only conceded 6 goals in league and only 1 in the Champions League. Breaching that defence is not easy and Brighton managed to do it three times in two matches.

City on the other hand have struggled for goals, they only managed three goals in their last four matches, while conceding nine. Haaland has not found the back of the net in the last two matches. I am confident enough to completely write city off, however, I will be backing a double chance and leaning on the riskier side with a win for Brighton.
