Not many out there would have predicted that Brighton would be sat in the top four after eight games and that Man City would only be 2pts ahead of them in the Premier League but that is where we find ourselves ahead of the pair's clash at the AmEx on Saturday evening.

Man City Win-to-Nil
Man City might have lost here last season but Guardiola's men have won five of their last six games against the Seagulls and we're backing an away win this weekend as well. City have managed to keep four clean sheets in their last six games against Brighton and we believe that stopping the Seagulls from scoring will be key to a Man City victory this weekend. Brighton have failed to score in their last two matches and Man City have won four of their last six fixtures in all competitions.
Under 2.5 Goals
Five of Brighton's last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals and the key to the Seagulls great start this season has been their defensive solidity. Three of Man City's last five matches have also witnessed fewer than three goals scored, so you can see just why we're expecting this game to be tight and tense throughout.
1-0 to Man City
In terms of a final scoreline, we're predicting a narrow 1-0 win for Man City over the high-flying Seagulls. Brighton don't concede many goals and they have failed to score in their last two league games against Norwich and Arsenal. Man City have kept two clean sheets in their last three league games and we're backing both defenses to put in good displays on Saturday night, but not good enough to stop City from winning.

Brighton will move above Man City with a win
Brighton would have accepted a 0-0 draw with Arsenal before the international break but to then play out another blank away at a Norwich side that are yet to win a game this season, just isn't good enough. Brighton's excellent start to the season has certainly coincided with the good form of Maupay in front of goal but when the Frenchman fails to hit the back of the net, Brighton tend to struggle to get goals from other areas of the team.
Man City had a trip to Belgium in midweek where they beat Club Brugge 5-1 in the Champions League and at the weekend they secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Burnley. Guardiola's men are the favourites to win this game but the Man City manager will not take Brighton lightly due to their great start to the new season. Of course, Man City lost here last season but that was after the title-race had already been decided and City had nothing to play for.
Team News
