Brighton vs Man City: Preview, prediction and lineups

A prolonged Gameweek 34 culminates at the Amex Stadium on Thursday night as Brighton play host to title hopefuls Manchester City.

City have some catching up to do after they were in FA Cup action at the weekend. They've now played two games fewer than league leaders Arsenal, whose successive victories has piled the pressure on Pep Guardiola's Cityzens heading into this one.

The Gunners are four points ahead of City, but Guardiola's men will return to the summit should they win their games in hand. TheirChampions League exit should aid their domestic cause, with last season's treble winners also having the FA Cup final to consider after squeaking past Chelsea on Saturday.

Thursday's opponents, Brighton, are without aPremier League win since 10 March, with their injury-hit campaign drifting into one of indifference after their European venture was brought to a close by AS Roma. The Seagulls weren't in action at the weekend and should be well-rested for City's visit, but Roberto De Zerbi is still without a long list of players.

Here's preview of Man City's upcoming Premier League clash.
