Man City vs Brighton Prediction: Premier League Match on 21.10.2023

Questions are being asked of Pep Guardiola’s side, as Man City come into the resumption following the international break after losing each of their last three domestic fixtures. Brighton will also be looking for a response on Saturday after going two without a victory.

 

• Newcastle vs Crystal Palace Prediction: Premier League Match on 21.10.2023

Premier League Preview

It has been a testing period for the reigning champions, as Man City have been forced to have difficult conversations after losing each of their last two in the Premier League. Their Carabao Cup defeat against Newcastle also means that the champions have lost each of their last three domestic fixtures in England, with their only win in four coming against RB Leipzig in the Champions League. 

City have dropped to third in the standings after their poor run of form, but they could move back to the top of the standings before their rivals take to the field this weekend. City’s most recent defeat was suffered at the home of their most likely rivals for the title, as they were edged out by a 1-0 scoreline at the Emirates against Arsenal.

Brighton remain in the hunt for a European finish this term, but they will desperately need to get back on track if they are to emerge as a leading Champions League contender in the Premier League. The Seagulls have won five of their eight matches this term, and they remain the highest-scorers in the Premier League with 21 goals. 

However, they come into this match after going two without a victory. But, they did bounce back from a huge loss at the hands of Aston Villa before the international break, as they picked up a deserved 2-2 home draw against Liverpool. A victory this weekend could move them to within a point of the top of the standings. 

Man City vs Brighton Head to Head

Man City have picked up wins in eleven of the previous 13 clashes between these two sides. The sides played out a 1-1 draw in the most recent clash between the sides in May 2023. That point ended a three-game winning sequence for City, in which the champions had scored ten goals and conceded just twice. 

Man City vs Brighton Prediction

We would expect goals to be on the agenda in this fixture on Saturday, as both sides look to play on the front foot. Therefore, both teams to score could be a popular selection. However, we expect City to get back into the win column.
