Man City vs Brighton: Prediction, TV channel, live stream, team news, time, h2h results, odds - preview

Manchester City are looking to ramp up their Premier League title challenge as they host Brighton at the Etihad this evening.

City saw rivals Manchester United go top of the league after beating Burnley last night, but Ppe Guardiola’s men are just seven points adrift with two games in hand, the first of which comes this evening.

With United taking on second-placed Liverpool in their next fixture, City have an opportunity to ramp up the pressure over the next week and they come into tonight’s match in terrific form, having won their last six games in all competitions.

Brighton, meanwhile, have gone eight games without a win in the league, a run stretching back to late November, and last weekend’s penalty shootout win over Newport County in the FA Cup will have done little to boost confidence.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Manchester City vs Brighton is scheduled for a 6:15pm kick-off tonight, January 13, 2021.

The game will be played behind closed doors at the Etihad Stadium because of current coronavirus restrictions.

This match sees two teams who could barely be in more contrasting form going head-to-head and the way City have been playing in recent weeks it is hard to see Graham Potter’s side getting anything from the game.
