Manchester City vs Brighton Hove Albion

Manchester City are in 5th place but are only 4 points behind their main rival Liverpool and the most important part is that Manchester City has played less two games then Liverpool so things are starting to looking great for Manchester City after that rough season start. Like I said in the past, Manchester City season start wasn't the best but they faced tough competition and things would get easier and that's what we are seeing now, they are starting to get on a solid winning run and after beating Southampton, Newcastle and Chelsea in the Premier League they beat Manchester United and Birmingham in the Cups what shows us the great shape that City is in right now. Now they will face a Brighton team that they always have won in the Premier League, 6 games played between them in the Premier League, 6 wins with an 20:2 in goals and all of their wins coming by 2 or more goals, so their confidence should be high for this game too. For this game Manchester City are without Ake and Laporte. Palmer, Garcia and Aguero are isolating and will miss this game too.

Brighton are sitting at 17th place and to be honest they are a much better team then a 17th place but the team has some unlucky games and are also dealing with major injuries concerns what has put this team in this situation because if that wasn't the case, Brighton would be at a much higher position. But for now I don't see things getting better for Brighton, not in this game because the match-up is really bad, Brighton has too many defensive problems right now to be able to stop Manchester City attack in my opinion and even their attack isn't bad they are having key players out so things will not be easy for Brighton to score too, especially this season where Manchester City defensive-line is way better. For this game Brighton are without Lallana, Welbeck, Connolly, Lamptey, Andone, Izquierdo and Bissouma who is suspended. Jahanbakhsh is doubtful for the game.

Both teams played Cup games, Manchester City in a relax way beat Birmingham by 3:0 and should come here well rested and ready and Brighton on the other side played 120 minutes against Newport and won in penalty-kicks, so in terms of resting I think Manchester City will also have the edge here against Brighton, but overall Manchester City right now is playing on another level and have been very solid everywhere, the defense got better and also the attack has been great and also the news that Sterling is ready to play here are good news for the team and on Brighton side, even I do like that team they are right now in big danger because of all their injuries, especially in key players like Lallana and Lamptey and also the suspension of Bissouma is really hurting them for this game. I like Manchester City to win this game by at least 2 goals difference, if you guys have the chance to bet in those markets take the Manchester City -1.75 or the -2.00 since I expect Manchester City to at least win this game by 2 goals difference, overall I see this game ending in a 2:0 or 3:0 for Manchester City.

Good Luck

曼城排名第五，但只落后主要对手利物浦4分，最重要的是曼城比利物浦少踢了两场比赛，所以在经历了艰难的赛季开始后，曼城的情况开始好转。就像我说的过去,曼城赛季开始不是最好的，主要是赛程太难，但事情会变得容易，这就是我们现在所看到的，他们在英超击败南安普顿、纽卡斯尔和切尔西，并且在杯赛中击败曼联和伯明翰，向我们展示了现在曼城的好状态。这场对战布莱顿，英超比赛中对战6次，6次全胜，总比分20:2，每场比赛都至少赢两球，所以他们的信心应该对这场比赛也高。本场比赛曼城将失去Ake和Laporte，帕尔默、加西亚和阿奎罗也将错过这场比赛。

布赖顿排名17,老实说,他们是一个更好的团队高于17名的，但是伤病问题太严重，因为如果不是这样的话,布赖顿将在更高的位置。但是现在我看不出布莱顿事情变得更好，布莱顿有太多防守问题阻止曼城攻击，在我看来甚至进攻也不如意，因为他们关键球员缺阵，面对的是本赛季曼城防线是最好的时候。这场比赛布赖顿缺阵的有拉拉纳、维尔贝克、康诺利、兰普提、安东、伊兹奎多和比苏玛。Jahanbakhsh上阵存疑。

两队都打了杯赛,曼城在放松的方式击败伯明翰握，而准备好布莱顿在另一边踢了120分钟对纽波特,在点球大战中获胜，所以体力也在曼城这边。总体来说，我看好曼城这场比赛至少赢两球。
