Manchester City host Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League this evening.

Pep Guardiola’s side still have the upper hand in the title race but know any slip-up could prove fatal as the season enters its home straight.

City passed their hardest remaining test when they drew 2-2 with Liverpool last time out in the league, although they will have been disappointed not to take all three points after a commanding performance.

That result was followed by defeat against Jurgen Klopp’s side in the FA Cup semi-final and City cannot afford to let that lost chance at silverware hinder their momentum in the title race.

Brighton meanwhile come into the fixture in much-improved form having beaten Arsenal and Tottenham in back-to-back games.

Here is everything you need to know:

Prediction
