Both teams to score YES
This isn’t about Manchester City but about Brighton. The Seagulls have met against three of the orthodox top-six sides this season already and scored five goals in the process. Man City may have kept a good number of clean sheets this season already, but Brighton, who scored three goals at Liverpool and two goals at Manchester United, are capable of scoring at least one goal against Man City.
Both teams to score + Over 2.5 goals
Manchester City are the favourites to win the game and as a result, the game is increasingly likely to produce at least three goals with both teams scoring at least one goal. Brighton are decent against the top sides. They don’t always win but at least, they do get on the scoreboard. The last three times both sides locked horns, both teams scored at least a goal in two fixtures and all three games ended with at least three goals. Man City won two and lost one.
Phil Foden to score anytime YES
The England international is one of Pep Guardiola’s undroppables at Manchester City. The midfielder has been in fine form, scoring a hat-trick against Manchester United earlier this month.
Foden scored one goal to help Man City beat Brighton 3-0 last season at Etihad and he’s expected to score at least one goal again against the Seagulls this weekend.
Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
In the wake of Manchester City’s 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield last weekend, the Citizens are now four points behind league leaders Arsenal, who escaped with a tight 1-0 win at Leeds United on Sunday.
City are very much in the title race despite last weekend’s loss and will rather look to bounce back to winning ways against Brighton after their away game to Arsenal has been postponed. Man City have not only scored a whopping 33 goals already, but have won seven and drawn two from their opening ten league matches.
Brighton haven’t won a game since the departure of their manager Graham Potter to Chelsea last month but they haven’t been that bad either.
The Seagulls occupy the 7th position in the league with 14 points from 9 matches and could enter 5th position with a win over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.
