THE LOWDOWN
BRIGHTON
- Brighton’s 0-0 draw away at Norwich last time out sent them into the top four following Man Utd’s defeat away at the Leicester and the Seagulls have now drawn each of their last three league games, with two clean sheets accrued.
- The news that centre-back Adam Webster could return from injury here will be a huge positive for the hosts, although forward Danny Welbeck is out after suffering a thigh injury that required the former Arsenal man to undergo surgery.
MAN CITY
- A thumping 1-5 win over Club Brugge in their midweek Champions League tie see Man City travel to Brighton full of momentum, as they bid to keep the pressure on their Premier League rivals
- Ferran Torres is the only confirmed senior absentee for Man City, alongside youngster Liam Delap, giving Pep Guardiola plenty of options in terms of who to pick in his starting XI.

THE PREDICTION
Man City’s seven-match unbeaten run in the Premier League will be put to the test here away at Brighton when taking into account the excellent start to the season of the Seagulls. In fact, victory for Brighton would take them above their opponents in a table, a testament to the job that Graham Potter has done. However, the class of Man City, their incredible strength-in-depth and attack that always seems to eventually overwhelm the opposition should have too much for the home side over 90 minutes. Therefore, Man City have to be favoured for victory.
Tip: MAN CITY TO WIN
