Hostilities resumes to day in the English Premiership League when Man City hosts Brighton and Hove Albion at the Etihad stadium in the city of Manchester .
Man City will be seeking revenge after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Brighton in the reverse fixture .

City who had the opportunity of securing the third position in the Premiership , lost to far growing Nothingham Forest by 1-0 at the City ground ,barely seven minutes to the end of the end of the match .by Callum Hodson Odoi.
The Citizens have lost 9 matches this season alone , the higeest in Pep Guardiola s career as a Coach in Man City a as well as in 2019-20.
Sitting uncomfortably at the fifth position with 2 points behind Chelsea at fourth position
and 10 points ahead of Fulham , City are battling to get a champions league spot .
Thriu they will be happy playing on home turf today , but they have failed to win their last four games at Etihad and drawing (3) including , loss to Liverpool , 2-0, they will try it to a avoid losing two games back to back after the losses in April /May ,2021 .
Their consolation is that they have never lost a home game to Brighton, winning ,(12 ) and drawing (2).winning the last 10 in a row .

After a heavy defeat in the hands of Nothingham Forest , in February this year , 7-0, Brighton mus thabe learnt their lesson and woke up from a dangerous slumber with series of back to back wins in all competitions , plus four back to back victories in the Premiership .the longest on going run by any team in the English Premsiehip League .
After securing their place in the FA Cup Quarter finals with a 2-1 extra time win against Newcastle , they got a massive 3 point s with another win against Fulham with a late winner from Joan Pedro in the 98min.penalty .
Their Manager Fabian Hurzuller praised them for the victory , though they sit at the 7th portion in the league and only 3 points behind the top four .

The Seagulls who have never won at away at the Etihad in their last 14 previous attempts are of of high hopes in today’s encounter as they have made themselves difficult to beat in their last four premeishio league matches losing just 2 in their last 11 games in all competitions .that’s a massive statistics in their Favour .Won (6) drew (3)..
Their victories over Man City at home have been from behind , with Man United as the only team that have beaten Guardiola s men more times than any other EPL side .when they came from behind to beat City 2-1 at Old Trafford in November last year in 25th meetings .

Injury worries is likely to be the Citizen s bane in today’s match against the Seagulls with most of their kept players still nursing injuries , players like Akanji, Nathan Ake ,John Stones as well as Oscar Bob will be conspicuously absent
While Abdukader Khusanov , Ruben Dias and Joska G ardiol are to maintain their place in the first team at the rear while Rico Lewis may be a replacement for Mattheus Nunes .
Out of form pally maker will not feature in today match despite having scored more goals against the Seagulls (8) he is likely to be replaced by Omar Marmoush or Kevin De Bryue .

Brighton’s injury worries is also heartbreaking with so many of their regular players on the side line , notable among them are , Ferdi Kadiaglo, ,Igor Julio, James Milner ,Jason Steele , while their captain Lewis Dunk , Joel Veltman and Matt O’Riley are lilkely come backs from long injury lay off .
Also available to return after suspension is Tariq Lamptey as well as Danny Wellback who has never scored against Man City in all his 20 attempts in the English Premsiehip League .

Predictions .

The sides are almost at per in scoring goals and the realiities on ground right now for them .For Brighton who have scored in 26 matches of their 29 games have a point to prove today .
On the other hand , City who has been struggling since this season sees today s match against the Seagulls as an opportunity to catapult themselves to the 3rd or 4th position in the EpL .
What we know is that there will be plesnty of goals in today’s match .

Man City 2+1 Brighton
