Manchester City will look to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League table when they host Brighton & Hove Albion at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, October 31. The Manchester City vs Brighton prediction favours the hosts, but the visitors have already shown they can trouble Pep Guardiola’s side after taking them to a penalty shootout in the EFL Cup earlier this week. The Premier League leaders have 21 points from eight matches, while Brighton are third with 16. Kick off is scheduled for 3pm GMT, which is 8:30pm IST.
Manchester City are expected to have several key players back in the starting lineup after resting them for Wednesday’s cup tie. Erling Haaland, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and Elliot Anderson are all expected to return. Brighton have a longer injury list. Kaoru Mitoma, Evan Ferguson, Stefanos Tzimas, Femi Azeez, Pascal Struijk and Zadok Yohanna are among the players expected to miss the trip.
