Brighton vs Man City: Top Two Tips
We're bringing you our Premier League predictions for the midweek clash between Brighton and Man City. Both of these teams have achieved their goals this season with two games to spare. City claimed the Premier League title before they beat Chelsea 1-0 at the weekend and Brighton's win over local rivals Southampton earned them a place in the Europa League ahead of Tottenham and Aston Villa.
Contents
Over 2.5 Goals and Both Teams to Score
Our first Brighton vs Man City prediction is for there to be at least three goals in the game and for both teams to find the back of the net. Three of the last four league meetings between these two clubs have ended with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals being produced, including Man City's 3-1 win at the Etihad in October. Three of Brighton's last four matches have seen both teams score and have produced at least three goals while four of Man City's last six outings have seen over 2.5 goals scored, adding plenty more weight to our prediction.
Julian Alvarez to Score
Our second Brighton vs Man City prediction delves into the Anytime Goalscorer market. Julian Alvarez has had to play a bit part role for Man City this season due to the overwhelming success of Erling Haaland. However, the World Cup and now Premier League winner has chipped in with 9-goals this season and always gives a good performance when called upon. Alvarez scored the only goal at the weekend as Man City defeated Chelsea 1-0and we're backing the 23-year-old to score against Brighton.

Brighton vs Man City Lineups and Last Match
Brighton
The Seagulls welcomed already relegated Southampton to the AmEx at the weekend. The game went as many expected with Brighton dominating the majority of the play and opening the scoring through Ferguson in the 29th-minute. The young Irish forward scored against 5-minutes before the break and although the Saints pulled a goal back just before the hour mark, a goal from Gross in the 69th minute wrapped up a 3-1 win for Brighton. March, Lallana, Webster, Moder, Sarmiento, Lamptey and Sanchez could all miss the Man City game through injury.
Predicted Lineup – Steele (GK), Veltman, Dunk, Estupiñán, Colwill, Groß, Mac Allister, Mitoma, Caicedo, Enciso & Ferguson
Man City
Manchester City left out a number of their star players for the home game against Chelsea at the weekend but still controlled the majority of the match and came away with a 1-0 victory thanks to a well-taken goal from Lavarez after just 12-minutes. Nathan Ake is the only injury concern for the visitors this weekend but it will be interesting to see what kind of lineup Guardiola goes with at Brighton with two big cup finals still to come and the Premier League title already confirmed.
Predicted Lineup – Ortega (GK), Walker, Laporte, Akanji, Lewis, Phillips, Foden, Gómez, Palmer, Mahrez & Álvarez

Player to Watch: Alexis Mac Allister
Brighton's World Cup winner could be on his way out of the club this summer, destined for bigger things. The Argentine midfielder would love to play for a team like Manchester City and he certainly has the ability to perform a role in a Pep Guardiola side.
Able to play as a deep-lying playmaker or behind the striker in the No.10 role, Mac Allister has been key to Brighton's qualification for the Europa League this season and he will have attracted plenty of interest from big teams from around Europe with his 10 league goals for the Seagulls this season.
We're expecting another big performance from the 24-year-old in this game as he is effectively in the shop window right now and he will be desperate to attract the interest of teams like Man City that play a style of football that suits the silky Argentinian.
