Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Saturday’s football game at Amex Stadium pits together Brighton and Manchester City, the two teams who are surprisingly almost level on points in the Premier League table. The Seagulls have suffered only one loss in the process, but they are still seen as big underdogs in this match as they take on the star-studded title holders. Both Alzate and Welbeck are out of contention through injuries, while Webster should be fit to face Pep Guardiola’s troops.
The Citizens, on the other hand, aim to build on a routine 2-0 win over Burnley where the Catalan tactician mixed the squad. All Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, Ederson, and Gabriel Jesus return to the starting XI following international commitments. Anyhow, Man City are more of a team than Brighton, and we predict that Kevin De Bruyne and Co. will prove their worth on the field. Both Mendy and Torres miss out with injuries for the visiting team.

Highlighted Team (Man City):
Manchester City are the lest famous of the two major clubs based in Manchester. The club was founded in 1880, but they have been struggling in the English Premier League in the past. Nonetheless, ever since the club was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, the Citizens have been playing an important role in the English top flight.
Manchester City won two Premier League trophies under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini (2011/2012 and 2013/2014), but both managers eventually paid the price for some disappointing results. Man City play their home games at the Etihad Stadium and the stadium capacity is 55,097.
Manchester United are regarded as Manchester City’s biggest rivals and the likes of Kun Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Uwe Rosler, Yaya Toure, Sylvain Distin are some of the most remarkable players that played for the Etihad Stadium outfit. Manchester City have won four Premier League titles and five FA Cup trophies and it has to be noted that they made it to the Champions League semis in the 2015/2016 season.
