Manchester City – Premier League Form and Betting Odds

Manchester City’s perfect start to the Premier League season ended last Saturday with a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa. Enzo Maresca’s side had previously won all seven league fixtures, leaving them top of the table on goal difference.
Defensive performances have become a concern for the hosts, who have conceded 11 goals across their last five matches in all competitions. City have failed to keep a clean sheet during that run, despite winning three of those fixtures.
The Etihad Stadium remains a difficult place for visiting teams, with City losing just one of their last 22 home league matches (W18, D3), whilst they’ve never lost a competitive home meeting with Brighton, winning 14 of the previous 18 encounters, William Hill price the hosts at 13/20 to win this one.

Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Form and Betting Odds

Brighton return to the Etihad Stadium hoping to avenge Wednesday’s Carabao Cup defeat on penalties, leaving the Seagulls without a victory in their last three matches across all competitions.
Goals have been a major strength for Brighton this season, with the visitors scoring 23 times in their opening eight Premier League fixtures, no side have scored more than the Seagulls so far, they’ll be confident of at least finding the net in this one.
However, Brighton have struggled on their travels recently, losing four of their last six away league fixtures but despite not winning here yet, they’ve managed to draw their last three trips to East Manchester within regulation time, punters can back Fabian Hurzeler’s side at 17/5 to take all three points.
