We simulated Brighton vs Man City to get a score prediction for Premier League clash

Manchester City play away from home in the league for the penultimate time this season when they face Brighton and Hove Albion today.

Julian Alvarez's goal secured a 1-0 win over Chelsea in City's last outing, but following Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest, Pep Guardiola’s side were already league champions prior to kick-off. If City are able to win their last two games of the season, they will beat their points tally from last season by one point.

With the league wrapped up and their Champions League and FA Cup finals coming up, Guardiola may rotate again to make sure his side are fully fit as they attempt to win the treble. The last meeting between City and Brighton ended in a 3-1 win, with Erling Haaland scoring twice.

So, can City make it 13 league wins in a row? We simulated the clash to find out. To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 23 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Brighton could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Steele; Gross, Dunk, Colwill, Estupinan; Caicedo, Gilmour; Enciso, Mac Allister, Mitoma; Ferguson.

We predict that City could line up in a 3-2-4-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ortega; Stones, Laporte, Akanji; Lewis, Rodri; Mahrez, Alvarez, Silva, Foden; Haaland.

An aggressive start from Brighton saw the Seagulls take the lead, with Kaoru Mitoma's fantastic cross headed home by Evan Ferguson at the back post. After going behind, City took control, and two goals either side of half-time made it 2-1 to the visitors.

Just before the break, Bernardo Silva levelled the score when Erling Haaland's strike was parried into his path,
