Manchester City vs Brighton – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester City welcome Brighton to the Etihad this afternoon with both teams in contention for Champions League qualification.

Pep Guardiola’s side can climb into the top four with a win, with fourth-placed Chelsea not in action until Sunday, when the West Londoners face Arsenal.

City are aiming to bounce back from the setback of last weekend’s 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest. Callum Hudson-Odoi’s goal condemned the Citizens to defeat and saw them drop out of the Champions League places.

Brighton arrive in the North West as one of the Premier League’s form teams. The Seagulls have won six straight games in all competitions, a run that includes progress to the FA Cup quarter-finals and wins over European contenders in Chelsea, Bournemouth and Fulham.

A win for Fabian Hurzeler’s side will take them above Manchester City in the table.
