Best Tip: Man City to win

As the stadium fills and the Man City players ready themselves for this game, the bookies have predicted success for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below point in that direction too, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) data we use in our predictive algorithms. The Etihad Stadium hasn't been an easy place to go for Brighton in the past, and we expect more of the same come Saturday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.
