Man City vs. Brighton: Surprise 4/1 Enzo Fernandez odds to back for Premier League clash

After facing off in the Carabao Cup in midweek, Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion will play each other again in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Cityzens ran out winners on penalties after a 2-2 draw in normal time, but will be hoping to settle victory inside 90 minutes here.

One player that could help them do that is Enzo Fernandez, and here is why we are backing Fernandez to score anytime at 4/1 (5.00) against Brighton.

Man City vs. Brighton: Fernandez loves scoring against the Seagulls

Fernandez has scored a joint-career high three goals against Brighton, and all of them have come in home games.

He is also a favourite of Enzo Maresca, having played under him at Chelsea and since played in every Premier League match after joining Man City.

Having only played three minutes in midweek, Fernandez should see plenty of minutes on the pitch on Saturday, which gives him more time to get on the scoresheet.

Man City vs. Brighton: Fernandez scoring odds surprising

At the time of writing, as many as 12 players from either side are more fancied by bookies to score at anytime in the match other than Fernandez.

This is somewhat surprising given his scoring pedigree against Brighton, and with the midfield battle set to be key against one of the Premier League's in-form sides, Fernandez could even play an advanced role under Maresca.

The Italian trusts him to play anywhere in midfield, and should he get into more frequent goalscoring positions, Fernandez's odds to score anytime, which we feel are priced generously, could come through.
