Brighton vs Man City Preview: Can Guardiola's Men Bounce Back?
High-Flying City Face Brighton Test After Dropping Points
Manchester City will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing draw when they travel to Brighton on Wednesday, January 13th. Pep Guardiola's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton at the weekend, which saw them fall four points behind Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.
Guardiola Faces Injury Concerns
Guardiola will be without key striker Sergio Aguero for the clash with Brighton. The Argentine has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, and his absence could be a major blow to City's hopes of victory. However, City do have a number of other attacking options available, including Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling, and Riyad Mahrez.
Brighton in Good Form
Brighton have been in good form this season, and they will be confident of causing City problems on Wednesday. The Seagulls have won three of their last four Premier League games, including a 2-0 victory over Chelsea. Graham Potter's side are also unbeaten in their last two home games against City.
Prediction: City to Edge a Tight Contest
This is a difficult game to call, but I think City will just edge it. They have the quality to break down a well-organized Brighton defense, and they will be desperate to bounce back from their draw with Everton.
