- Score prediction: Manchester City 3-0 Brighton
Manchester City are mired in a scoring slump, but playing Brighton has been an attacking antidote to other clubs this season, so why not Pep Guardiola’s side too? Their title rivals took advantage of that opportunity in recent weeks, with Arsenal running away from the Amex winning 3-0 in an attack, while Liverpool won 2-1 while hammering Brighton’s defensive line.
Brighton have little to play for at the end of the season, and while they would surely love to play spoilsport, they will have no reason to risk it all if things get tough over the course of the 90 minutes.
