Manchester City vs Brighton Match Insights
The Defending Champions Manchester City are travelling to Falmer Stadium to take on one of the most efficient and highly impressive sides in the competition Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Champions started the season brilliantly and once again were luking invincible. However, they have run into some rough weather off late after they lost their EFL Round of 16 match to the Spurs. City then went down to Bournemouth where they were dominated by the Cherries and then to add more pain the Champions were handed a mighty 4-1 jolt by Sporting in the Champions League a couple of days ago.
Brighton would not be easy either and to come unscathed would be a big achievement for Manchester City.
As far as Brighton is concerned, they too have had a bumpy ride in the past couple of weeks. They twice lost to Liverpool back to back ( though the games were closely fought ), drew with Wolves and triumphed over Newcastle and Tottenham. It has been a mixed bag, but at home Brighton are dangerous and difficult to dislodge.

Current Standings
Manchester City are in second position with 23 points trailing Liverpool, while Brighton are in 8th position with 16 points.
Key Players to Watch
For Manchester City, despite the fact that Erling Haaland has been off colour and their defence appearing more porous than ever, the big Norwegian continues to be the major threat. Phil Foden, Savinho and the hugely impressive Gvardiol are the players to watch out for. Rodri’s injury has been a major blow to City.
For Brighton watch out for the old war horse Danny Welbeck and the upcoming young players G Rutter and Kadioglu.
Manchester City vs Brighton Prediction
It would be a cagey affair and even though the current form does to augur well for Manchester City, I would still go with the Champions for a hard fought 2-1 win.
We will find out at the Falmer Stadium tonight.
