We simulated Man City vs Brighton to get a score prediction

Manchester City will be looking to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League on Wednesday night, as they host Brighton & Hove Albion at the Etihad.

A disappointing performance saw Pep Guardiola's team knocked out of the FA Cup in City's last game, losing 3-2 in the semi-final to Liverpool. The defeat means City can now win a maximum of two trophies this season, with the side currently in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League and at the top of the Premier League.

With Liverpool playing their game a day prior to City, Guardiola's side could potentially be entering the game against Brighton in second place, with City currently one point ahead of the Reds after their 2-2 draw in their last Premier League outing. The FA Cup defeat saw a handful of City players given a rest, with the dropped player set to return against the Seagulls.

Ruben Dias has featured on the bench two games in a row after his injury lay-off, but the Portuguese international is tipped to return to the starting XI along with Aymeric Laporte, who was rested against Liverpool. Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan also made the bench last week despite their injuries, but both could return to action on Wednesday.

Kyle Walker and Cole Palmer are the only guaranteed absentees, meaning Joao Cancelo is likely to remain at right-back for now. So, what line-ups will both teams select and what could the final score be?
