Brighton vs Man City prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

Manchester City is poised to potentially overtake Arsenal at the top of the Premier League, provided they capitalize on their two games in hand, starting with an upcoming match against Brighton & Hove Albion. Despite enjoying a stint in European competitions this season, Brighton's league performance has faltered, marred by a series of injuries that have hampered Roberto De Zerbi's squad.

The visitors are the unsurprising favourites with CopyBet going into this match at 42/100 with the Albion priced at 11/2 and a draw is 15/4.

During their last encounter, Manchester City celebrated their league championship and were on the path to a treble-winning season. In contrast, Brighton managed to clinch a Europa League position following a commendable draw against the champions, highlighted by Julio Enciso's remarkable goal. However, the current scenario sees Brighton in a mid-table position, having secured only one victory in their recent five matches and trailing six points behind the qualifications for European competitions next season.

Brighton's challenges are compounded by significant injuries, with Evan Ferguson and Pervis Estupinan sidelined for the remainder of the season. This adds to an already extensive list of absentees including Solly March, Jack Hinshelwood, Tariq Lamptey, Kaoru Mitoma, and Billy Gilmour. Despite Manchester City facing uncertainties over Erling Haaland and Phil Foden's availability for the game, their squad depth remains unmatched, positioning them as favorites for the upcoming fixture.

Man City total goals over 2.5 goals - 7/5

Julian Alvarez to score anytime - 29/20
