Brighton vs Man City will take place on Thursday night as Pep Guardiola’s side returns to Premier League action.
It’s been a busy past week for Manchester City, full of mixed emotions and success.
City’s grip on the Champions League trophy was released last week as they were defeated in agonising fashion by Real Madrid on penalties at the Etihad Stadium.
But Pep Guardiola’s side kept the dream of winning yet another domestic double alive by edging past Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.
It was a great win for the Blues given the trying circumstances and now they must get another one as they return to the rigorous Premier League title race.
City have slipped to third but have a game in hand on Liverpool and two over top-placed Arsenal. Both games must be won to reclaim top spot, starting with Brighton.

Brighton vs Man City prediction
City bounced back from the disappointment of their European elimination by finally beating a team that has troubled them this season to reach yet another final.
It was a much-needed confidence boost as the focus now turns fully to the remaining Premier League fixtures.
City remain undefeated since December in 90 minutes and know they can’t slip now or risk losing their league title as well.
The Seagulls have struggled in recent weeks so City should be able to get the win.
Prediction: Brighton 1-3 Man City.
