Preview + Form

A loss for City and a draw for Brighton are the most recent results for these clubs. It should be a very fun match this one as Guardiola vs De Zerbi could be really chaotic.

One thing to keep an eye out for is the midfield battle as who wins that could dictate the result. We also expect a Haaland result as he could finally get back on the scoresheet.

Which team will come out in front?

Team News

City’s side have Kevin De Bruyne out.

Brighton have oder, Milner, Enciso and Estupinan as questionable or out.

Prediction

Manchester City 1-0 Brighton
