Brighton vs Manchester City prediction
Pep Guardiola said his players were perhaps a little relaxed against Newcastle - they rarely concede three goals, after all - so expect a tighter performance on the south coast.
Plenty of players wanting to impress - like Raheem Sterling - ahead of the Champions League final. 3-0 away win.
