Manchester City vs Brighton 20.04.2022

Man City will be looking to get back to winning ways when they welcome Brighton to the Etihad for their midweek league encounter. The Cityzens did not have a league game at the weekend as they were taking part in the semifinals of the FA Cup which they lost 3-2 to a dominant Liverpool side at Wembley

Brighton have made lemonade with the lemons presented to them in the last couple of week. Back-to-back wins over Arsenal and Tottenham, both of whom many expected to lose to, have not only thrust them into the top half of the table, but they have also thrown a spanner into the top four equation which Man United promptly took advantage of to get themselves right into the picture.

City’s draw against Liverpool in the league last weekend means there is still just a point separating them at the top. We feel they will go all out to create a little cushion for themselves and we are backing them to overcome a -1 handicap here
