Man City to lead at the break
To be fair, Brighton have won back-to-back games, and they are unbeaten in their last three games; however, it's fair to point out that they lost six games in a row prior to that good run. Brighton also tend to fall short whenever they go up against Manchester City; they lost nine of the last 10 meetings between these two. Additionally, Manchester City drew first blood in their last five, and nine of their last 10 meetings with Brighton; considering they led at half-time in all of their last nine clashes with Brighton, we are making the prediction that the Citizens will score first, and take the lead at half-time.
Both teams to score? Nah.
Brighton have been one of the lowest-scoring teams in the Premier League; only 18th placed Burnley and last-placed Norwich have scored fewer goals than Brighton this season. It's important to note that Brighton failed to score in six of their last nine games; conversely, they kept three clean sheets in their last 10 games. Brighton's games don't usually feature goals from both sides; at least one side blanked in nine of their last 10 games. Similarly, at least one team did not score in five of Manchester City's last eight games; and on that note, we believe that at least one of these teams will keep a clean sheet.

Man City vs Brighton: Let's look at the predicted lineups
Brighton have enjoyed another season of progress under Graham Potter whilst Man City are looking like doing great things once again. The clubs do have one big thing in common though and it could be visible in this match. What is it? They both lack a proper centre forward. Both would be better if they could solve that issue as well.
Man City Predicted Lineup
Things have not gone too well for Manchester City recently; they are coming off an FA Cup exit at the hands of Liverpool, and have no wins in their last three games. The Citizens are league leaders, just a point ahead of second-placed Liverpool; they'll look to maintain their spot at the top of the table with a win.
Predicted lineup – Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo, De Bruyne, Rodri, Gündogan, Mahrez, Foden, Silva
Brighton Predicted Lineup
Brighton have had some impressive performances lately; they defeated Arsenal and Tottenham in their last two games, having won just one of 12 games prior to that. Graham Potter's men will take on Manchester City on Wednesday; they'll hope to upset the league leaders by winning their third consecutive game.
Predicted lineup – Sánchez, Veltman, Dunk, Cucurella, Lamptey, Groß, Bissouma, Caicedo, Trossard, Mwepu, Mac Allister
