Brighton v Man City Preview

Brighton’s Form

Brighton reached the Europa League Round of 16 stage last season, but the extra games put a strain on their squad and they fell to 11th in the league. However, with them unburdened by Europe this season as well as €231.20m spent (only less than Chelsea) they were always going to be well placed to improve across league and domestic competitions this season.

Brighton have had a solid start to their Premier League campaign with 16 points from their opening 10 games putting them 8th and only 3 points from third place Nottingham Forest. However, there is a degree of unsustainability to their results with their Expected Points total of 15.17 which would put them 10th.

Always a tactically tricky side to play, Brighton are fully capable of continuing City’s recent poor run of form.

Man City’s Form

This City side is inarguably one of the most dominant forces in the history of the Premier League and arguably the most dominant especially under the management of Pep Guardiola winning 4 successive league titles. However, how they navigated the absence of Rodri was always going to be interesting and with back-to-back defeats in the last week, Guardiola might have a job on his hands with Rodri out with a cruciate injury.

They’re currently 2nd with 23 points, 4 ahead of Arsenal and 2 behind league leaders Liverpool. However, in the absence of Rodri their stranglehold of the Premier League could finally be in jeopardy again. Their Expected Points total of 18.82 is lower than Fulham with 19.86 and Liverpool with 21.98.

City can still potentially return to the top of the table with a win.

Key Players To Watch

Danny Welbeck – Brighton

The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker is still going strong at the ripe old age of 33 approaching 16 years since his competitive Premier League debut on the 15th of this month. This year he has been ruthless in front of goal scoring 6 times and assisting twice in 10 league games.

He is 9/1 to score first here and 11/4 to score at any time.

Erling Haaland – Man City

The Norwegian freak of nature has picked up where he left off last season scoring 11 goals from his opening 10 matches in the Premier League from an XG of 10.09. City look more vulnerable without Rodri and so will need that scoring streak to continue.

He is 3/1 to score first and 5/6 to score any time in the game.

Brighton v Man City Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Brighton 0-2 Man City

Brighton are an admirable club for how sustainably they invest their money and constantly build. However, navigating multiple competitions proved a bridge too far last season.

City are on a little bit of a downward spiral following three successive defeats, but they remain still arguably the best side around even without Rodri and they’ll click again it’s not a matter of if but when

This could be a tactically enthralling game but I suspect Guardiola’s side will have too much for Brighton.

Best Bet: Man City Win + Under 2.5 Goals @ 9/2
