Match preview

Our model sees little between the sides: Manchester City 34%, the draw 23%, Brighton 43%.

Our fair price for "Away win" is 2.32 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 3.3 goals in total (1.54 for Manchester City, 1.76 for Brighton), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Manchester City sit 1st on 21 points; Brighton are 3rd on 19.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
