Ace Football previews the Premier League game between Manchester City and Brighton and offers betting tips, odds, line-ups, and team news.
Manchester City welcome Brighton to Etihad in search of their fourth consecutive Premier League win.
Alongside Manchester United, Guardiola’s men are the only side unbeaten in their last five league outings. They’ll fancy their chances at keeping that run intact tonight.
City seem to have found their swagger of late and have already beaten Chelsea and United in 2021. They followed up with another 3-0 FA Cup victory against Birmingham at the weekend.
It’s quite the opposite for Brighton who are winless in their last five league games and find themselves only three points off the relegation zone.
Depending on the score-line, a win could take City up to third place and they will have all motivation to claim all three points tonight.
