Brighton will be full of confidence ahead of their trip to the Etihad Stadium after back to back away victories at north London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham.

Graham Potter's Brighton - who are 10th in the league standings - were impressive in their away day double and fully deserved their six points from two matches at Champions League chasing teams.

Manchester City however are one of the hardest challenges in world football and Pep Guardiola's team will be keen to hit back strongly after their painful FA Cup semi-final loss to their close title rivals Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds also added further pressure on City last night with a comprehensive 4-0 win against a stuttering Manchester United outfit.

Owen feels Brighton will cause problem's tonight for Guardiola's men.

"Despite the defeat, I’m sure Pep Guardiola will have been proud with the effort he saw from his side," wrote Owen in his Bet Victor predictions blog.

"Being three down at half-time, it would have been easy for his side to let the match drift away. they didn’t and made a real game of it in the second half.

"What a couple of weeks in North London it was for Brighton! To follow up that win at Arsenal with a win at Spurs was so impressive, you never quite know what Brighton you’ll get. They deserved the win against Spurs, every credit to them.

"I don’t think this will be as good an away trip though. Brighton may score, but City will get the win. 3-1."
