Brighton vs Man City
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Amex Stadium
Date: Sunday, May 12, 2019
Kick-off: 3pm BST, today
Manchester City are one win away from retaining their Premier League title as they prepare for a tip to Brighton on the final day of the season.
Vincent Kompany's stunning winner against Leicester City on Monday night leaves Man City one point ahead of second-placed Liverpool, with just 90 minutes of football left to be played.
Man City will lift the Premier League trophy on the south coast as long as they match Liverpool's result against Wolves, but a win for City would guarantee a second title in two years for Pep Guardiola - as well as keeping their hopes of a domestic treble on track.

Score prediction: Brighton 1-3 Man City
Man City have won their last 13 League games in a row - an incredible run, but one which to an extent masks the fact that Guardiola's Guardiola's side have squeaked through their last three League outings with nervy 1-0 wins.
Those results are so often the hallmark of champions, but Guardiola will want to see a calmer, more professional display from his team on the south coast after watching them almost succumb to nerves against Leicester.
While Brighton sealed an impressive 1-1 draw at Arsenal last weekend, the Seagulls - currently 17th - are safe, and only have the prospect of potentially finishing 16th to play for.
Though Chris Hughton's men will not be pushovers on their own turf, it is difficult to look beyond an away win for City to clinch the title.
