Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 10 matches across all competitions, picking up eight wins during that period. Wednesday's hosts have seen two of their last three matches end with both teams scoring, with Pep Guardiola's side scoring at least three goals in five of their last eight outings in the Premier League.

Brighton ended their winless run at the weekend, courtesy of a 2-0 victory over Burnley, but have lost three of their last seven in the Premier League. The Seagulls have only failed to score in two of their last nine league games, and are averaging 1.00 goals per game in their last three away trips. Four of the visitors' last seven outings in the Premier League have produced goals at both ends of the pitch.

Brighton are actually unbeaten in their last three games against the Citizens, and both teams have scored in each of those encounters. However, Manchester City have won 12 of their 17 matches against Brighton since the club returned to the top flight of English football in 2017.

Manchester City 3-1 Brighton
