Pundits make their Brighton vs Man City predictions

Manchester City are back in Premier League action after their goal glut against Newcastle United.

Pep Guardiola's side ran out 4-3 winners at St James' Park on Friday night thanks to a hat-trick from Ferran Torres.

With the Premier League title sewn up, Guardiola will continue to finetune his preparations for the Champions League final during City's last two games of the season.

Their trip to the south coast will be accompanied by the return of supporters to the Amex Stadium, before City welcome their own fans to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Ahead of the match with the Seagulls, here's a round-up of the media's predictions for the match.

Mark Lawrenson - BBC Sport

City are surely going to bring some of their A-listers back after resting them in Friday's win over Newcastle. It's a good idea to keep them ticking over with the Champions League final on 29 May in mind.

Brighton are neat and tidy as we know, but I don't see them hurting City.

Prediction: Brighton 0-3 Manchester City

Michael Owen - BetVictor

Champions Manchester City travel to the South Coast to take on Brighton in a match that means little to either side.We all know of City’s heroics this season, and Brighton can also take credit for how they’ve played at times over the course of the campaign.

What will the score be between Brighton and Man City? Have your say in the comments section here.

With the addition of a striker, the Seagulls could do much better next term, however, on this occasion I can only see the points going one way. It’s 2-0 to the Citizens for me.

Prediction: Brighton 0-2 Manchester City
