Manchester City tonight continue their Premier League champions celebration tour as they build-up to the Champions League final, with Brighton the next stop.

Pep Guardiola said he spoke to his squad about the thrilling 4-3 win over Newcastle - “they were more relaxed but I saw them today [in training] so focused - so the Seagulls should expect a tougher test in front of their returning fans.

Brighton vs Manchester City prediction

Pep Guardiola said his players were perhaps a little relaxed against Newcastle - they rarely concede three goals, after all - so expect a tighter performance on the south coast.

Plenty of players wanting to impress - like Raheem Sterling - ahead of the Champions League final. 3-0 away win.
