Recent league form of 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses with no win in 4. City are 3rd in the league 4 points behind Arsenal but with 2 games in hand. Overall, they’re 22 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats. Away form of 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. City are unbeaten in 29 games in all competitions with 23 wins and 6 draws. Last loss was early December.
Team news: Brighton have a long injury list and have added Estupinan to it. Enciso will be a doubt here. Erling Haaland is out but Foden and Stones should be fit.
Head-to-head statistics: 15 games – 2 wins Brighton, 1 draws and 12 wins Juventus.
Betting selection – Brighton have been disappointing of late and their huge injury list lengthens. City are just in the league and FA Cup final now so no need to manage minutes. Take Man City HT-FT at 2.10 or 11-10 bet365.
