Manchester City
Brighton & Hove Albion
Contents
- Competition: Premier League
- Date: 21st October 2023
- Kickoff: 15:00 UTC +1 / 16:00 CEST
- Venue: Etihad Stadium
This weekend, Brighton aims to put an end to their four-game winless streak as they visit the Etihad Stadium to take on reigning champions Manchester City.
In a stylish manner, the Citizens commenced their 2023-24 Premier League season, triumphing in all six of their initial matches. Despite midfielder Rodri receiving a red card due to a clash with Gibbs-White from Nottm Forest, Pep’s squad achieved their sixth victory with only ten players. However, City’s subsequent performances in various competitions have been inconsistent, securing only one triumph in their last four games.
Brighton, on the other hand, continues to be one of the unexpected success stories in the English Premier League. After earning a spot in European competition for the first time ever last season, Roberto De Zerbi’s team is hungry for even greater achievements. While they have not won in their last four matches in all competitions, their recent performances have been outstanding. The Seagulls showed great resilience by coming back from a two-goal disadvantage to secure a draw against Marseille in the Europa League. Additionally, they posed numerous challenges for Liverpool in their thrilling 2-2 draw just before the international break.
Manchester City vs Brighton Betting Tips: Man City to win
Although Man City have recently faced some challenges, their performance at the Etihad stadium remains outstanding. Under Pep’s leadership, the team has emerged victorious in their last twenty home games across various competitions. This achievement puts them in an elite group alongside Manchester United (20), Presten North End (21), and Sunderland (24). Furthermore, Man City has also triumphed in their previous seven home matches against Brighton, proving their dominance in encounters between the two teams across all competitions.

Manchester City team news
For the next three Premier League games, Manchester City will finally have the opportunity to utilize Rodri’s services.
Mateo Kovačić and John Stones could provide support to the Spanish midfielder, who is anticipated to make a direct comeback to the midfield after serving a three-match suspension.
Due to their ongoing muscle and knee injuries, Zack Steffen and Kevin De Bruyne find themselves in a challenging situation. Consequently, they will be unable to participate in Saturday’s game as it arrives too early for their recovery.
