Brighton vs Man City: Premier League clash preview and prediction
Title race intensifies as Brighton host Manchester City
Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Thursday's clash at the Amex Stadium
Manchester City will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League table when they travel to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday evening.
Pep Guardiola's side are currently one point clear of Liverpool, who have a game in hand, and know that victory over Brighton will put them in a strong position to retain their title.
Brighton, meanwhile, are 13th in the table and have little to play for in the remaining games of the season. However, they will be determined to give a good account of themselves against one of the best teams in the world.
The match is likely to be a tough one for Brighton, but City should be able to grind out a victory. The visitors have not lost in 29 games in all competitions since December's defeat to Aston Villa, and that streak is unlikely to end against a Brighton side that has won just one of their last five matches.
Prediction: Brighton 1-3 Manchester City
Team News:
- Brighton: Enock Mwepu and Jeremy Sarmiento are both out injured for Brighton. Neal Maupay is suspended.
- Manchester City: John Stones and Kyle Walker are both doubts for Manchester City. Riyad Mahrez is suspended.
Stats:
- Brighton have won just one of their last five matches in all competitions.
- Manchester City have not lost in 29 games in all competitions since December's defeat to Aston Villa.
- Manchester City have won their last five meetings with Brighton in all competitions.
